[RFC 02/12] powerpc/pseries: Rework hugepage invalidate to remove conditional locking
From: Ritesh Harjani (IBM)
Date: Sun Sep 27 2026 - 10:35:11 EST
Clang's compiler based static context analysis does not work with locks
that are conditionally taken like in __pSeries_lpar_hugepage_invalidate().
lpar.c:1240:6: error: spinlock 'pSeries_lpar_tlbie_lock' is not held on every path through here [-Werror,-Wthread-safety-analysis]
But this also simplifies the function definition in my opinion - so this
is also a win.
No functional change intended.
