[RFC 09/12] powerpc/pseries: Disable context analysis for the CMM hotplug notifier

From: Ritesh Harjani (IBM)

Date: Sun Sep 27 2026 - 10:37:42 EST


Clang's context analysis reports:
cmm.c: error: mutex 'hotplug_mutex' is still held at the end of function [-Werror,-Wthread-safety-analysis]
cmm.c: error: releasing mutex 'hotplug_mutex' that was not held [-Werror,-Wthread-safety-analysis]

cmm_memory_cb() takes hotplug_mutex on MEM_GOING_OFFLINE and drops it
on a later MEM_OFFLINE or MEM_CANCEL_OFFLINE call.

Add __context_unsafe() annotation for cmm_memory_cb() callback to avoid
the reported build error in order to enable Clang context analysis.
