Subject: [PATCH v5] x86/PoD: tie together P2M update and increment of entry count
Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2024 14:22:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <95699d2c-7e2a-40db-875f-907990797317@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <ac46f25b-e669-f309-b36e-c4760e10479e@suse.com>

When not holding the PoD lock across the entire region covering P2M
update and stats update, the entry count - if to be incorrect at all -
should indicate too large a value in preference to a too small one, to
avoid functions bailing early when they find the count is zero. However,
instead of moving the increment ahead (and adjust back upon failure),
extend the PoD-locked region.

Fixes: 99af3cd40b6e ("x86/mm: Rework locking in the PoD layer")
Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>
---
v5: Re-arrange conditionals to have just a single unlock.
v4: Shrink locked region a little again, where possible.
v3: Extend locked region instead. Add Fixes: tag.
v2: Add comments.
