[PATCH 3/4] s390/mm: Add __context_unsafe() attribute to gmap helper functions

From: Heiko Carstens

Date: Mon Aug 03 2026 - 13:26:24 EST


Disable context analysis for various gmap helper functions to get rid
of a few warnings:

arch/s390/mm/gmap_helpers.c:80:1: warning: spinlock 'ptl' is not held on every path through here
arch/s390/mm/gmap_helpers.c:116:2: warning: releasing spinlock 'ptl' that was not held
arch/s390/mm/gmap_helpers.c:186:2: warning: releasing spinlock 'ptl' that was not held

Use __context_unsafe() to give a short comment why for function context
analysis is disabled.

try_get_locked_pte() is disabled since it may return a nonull value
regardless if it returns with a lock held or not.

This cannot be reflected with the context analysis attributes. It is
however possible to workaround this e.g. by adding a another `contended`
function parameter, however this would lead to the next problem:
pte_unmap_unlock() is a macro and therefore doesn't come with the
required context analysis attribute to address this.

For that reason also disable context analysis for
gmap_helper_zap_one_page() and gmap_helper_try_set_pte_unused()
until this has been addressed.
