[PATCH v13 21/25] x86/resctrl: Export interface to report telemetry unbind/remove
From: Tony Luck
Date: Mon Sep 28 2026 - 18:19:10 EST
Linux allows devices to be unbound from drivers, even if the modules
cannot be unloaded because of reference counts.
For telemetry this results in teardown of the virtual address mappings
of the MMIO regions which hold the event counters. Subsequent access
to these counters will page fault.
Export intel_aet_invalidate() for the pmt_telemetry module to inform
resctrl when invalidation is about to happen.
The mount time call from aet_get_events() to the pmt_telemetry module holds
the existing aet_register_lock and then acquires ep_lock establishing
the lock hierarchy.
The pmt_telemetry module will need to call intel_aet_invalidate() while
holding the ep_lock. If intel_aet_invalidate() tried to use aet_register_lock
for locking it would create an A-B B-A deadlock.
Add a new mutex to protect telemetry_region::addr from simultaneous
invalidation and use by intel_aet_read_event().

v13:
Dropped telemetry_region::addr from list of things protected
by aet_register_lock.
Declare and use aet_mmio_lock in this patch instead of next one.
Explain the reason for the new lock.
