[PATCH v3] arm_mpam: Use an atomic counter to schedule mpam_enable_once()

From: Ping Li

Date: Mon Sep 14 2026 - 23:24:32 EST


mpam_discovery_cpu_online() scheduled mpam_enable() after each MSC
probe, and mpam_enable() walked the whole MSC list taking each probe
lock in turn to check if all the MSCs had been probed.

Count the MSCs that have had their hardware probed with
mpam_num_msc_probed, and schedule mpam_enable_once() directly when the
count reaches mpam_num_msc, the number of MSCs the driver discovered.
MSCs that were already probed no longer cause work to be scheduled.

Changes in v3:
- Rework per review feedback: instead of scheduling mpam_enable() after
each probe and walking the MSC list to check whether all MSCs have
been probed, count the probed MSCs and schedule mpam_enable_once()
directly when the last one is probed.
