[PATCH] blk-iolatency: use spin_lock_irqsave() in iolatency_clear_scaling()
From: Tao Cui
Date: Fri Jul 17 2026 - 00:07:38 EST
From: Tao Cui <cuitao@xxxxxxxxxx>
child_lat.lock is acquired with spin_lock_irqsave() in both
iolatency_check_latencies() (called from the blkcg_iolatency_done_bio()
softirq path) and blkiolatency_timer_fn() (timer softirq).
iolatency_clear_scaling() instead uses a plain spin_lock(), which only
happens to be safe because both of its callers enter with interrupts
already disabled:
* iolatency_set_limit() runs under queue_lock via blkg_conf_prep(),
which returns with the lock held and interrupts disabled;
* iolatency_pd_offline() runs under queue_lock from blkg_destroy() and
blkcg_deactivate_policy(), both of which take it with spin_lock_irq().
Take the lock with spin_lock_irqsave()/spin_unlock_irqrestore() so the
locking is self-contained and consistent with the other two sites, instead
of relying on an undocumented caller precondition. No functional change.
