The mon_sel_lock is used to protect the mbwu_state, as well as h/w accesses
that use MPAMCFG_MON_SEL. However, in mpam_restore_mbwu_state() mbwu_state
is accessed without holding the mon_sel_lock.

Add the missing locking.

The code can be simplified by avoiding the unnecessary nested conditional statement,
something like below:

        if (!ris->mbwu_state[i].enabled) {
            mpam_mon_sel_unlock(msc);
            continue;
        }

        mwbu_arg.ris = ris;
                mwbu_arg.ctx = &ris->mbwu_state[i].cfg;
        mwbu_arg.type = mpam_msmon_choose_counter(class);
        mwbu_arg.val = &val;

                mpam_mon_sel_unlock(msc);

                __ris_msmon_read(&mwbu_arg);

          if (ris->mbwu_state[i].enabled) {
              mwbu_arg.ris = ris;
              mwbu_arg.ctx = &ris->mbwu_state[i].cfg;
              mwbu_arg.type = mpam_msmon_choose_counter(class);
              mwbu_arg.val = &val;
  +            mpam_mon_sel_unlock(msc);
+
              __ris_msmon_read(&mwbu_arg);
+        } else {
+            mpam_mon_sel_unlock(msc);
          }
      }

Ok. I think it will be clearer what's best here once Andre's error propagation in his MPAM-Fb series
has crystalized.


Yeah, we can clean this up after that.

Thanks,

Ben
