[PATCH 2/3] idr: assert static storage for DEFINE_IDA()
From: Yury Norov
Date: Fri Sep 11 2026 - 18:20:52 EST
DEFINE_IDA() uses IDA_INIT(), which initializes the embedded XArray lock
with a static spinlock initializer. For an automatic local IDA, lockdep
cannot use the lock address as a persistent class key and reports
"INFO: trying to register non-static key" before disabling itself.
Apply ASSERT_STATIC_STORAGE() to DEFINE_IDA() so that this misuse is
rejected at compile time. For example:
void example(void)
{
DEFINE_IDA(ida);
ida_destroy(&ida);
}
GCC reports:
error: initializer element is not constant
name##_storage_check = &(name)
^
note: in expansion of macro 'ASSERT_STATIC_STORAGE'
ASSERT_STATIC_STORAGE(name)
note: in expansion of macro 'DEFINE_IDA'
DEFINE_IDA(ida);
File-scope definitions and static DEFINE_IDA() within a function remain
valid. Automatic local IDAs must instead be initialized with ida_init().
Direct uses of IDA_INIT() are not covered by this declaration check.
Convert the five automatic local IDAs in the userspace radix-tree tests
to ida_init() so they satisfy the new requirement.
Validated file-scope and static local definitions with a kernel object
build, and confirmed that an automatic local definition fails to compile.
