Hmm. I wouldn't call it 'abusing'; the driver can proceed quite happily without the 'reserved' buffer, so taking a lock would be overkill. I could modify it to use a mutex if you insist ... > And I think > in general we have two different things here that this patch conflates: > > a) a lock to protect building and using the reserve lists > b) a flag is a reservations is in use > No. This is not about reservations, this is about the internal 'reserved' page buffer array. (Just in case to avoid any misunderstandings). We need to have an atomic / protected check in the 'sfp' structure if the 'reserved' page buffer array is in use; there's an additional check in the 'sg_request' structure (res_in_use) telling us which of the requests is using it.
