use guard(mutex) for scope based resource management of mutex.
This would make the code simpler and easier to maintain.

Hi. Andrew,

After this change below dev_dbg will be called with mutex held still. Is that a concern? I don't see the mutex being used in that path.

Since using scoped_guard cause more code churn here, I would prefer not use it.

I see current code in pnv_ocxl_fixup_actag calls dev_dbg with mutex held. So likely not a concern of using just guard in pnv_ocxl_get_pasid_count as well.

Assuming that, let me send out v2 with corrected commit subject. :w


      dev_dbg(&dev->dev, "%d PASIDs available for function\n",
          rc ? 0 : *count);
      return rc;
