[RFC 02/12] powerpc/pseries: Rework hugepage invalidate to remove conditional locking

From: "Ritesh Harjani (IBM)" <ritesh.list@gmail.com>
Date: 2026-09-27 14:34:58
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

Clang's compiler based static context analysis does not work with locks
that are conditionally taken like in __pSeries_lpar_hugepage_invalidate().

lpar.c:1240:6: error: spinlock 'pSeries_lpar_tlbie_lock' is not held on every path through here [-Werror,-Wthread-safety-analysis]

But this also simplifies the function definition in my opinion - so this
is also a win.

No functional change intended.
