This patch breaks the kernel build on RHEL b/c it generates
a warning in the second if (pps_change && !special_qp && real_qp->qp_sec) {}
that new_pps may not be assigned. ... build warnings in RHEL kernel == build failure (on x86).
That's b/c the patch adds real_qp->qp_sec to if's conditions,
and the compiler cannot determine if real_qp->qp_sec cannot be modified
between the first check like it, above, which sets the value of new_pps,
and the second check that uses it, because real_qp is passed into the device->modify()
function call btwn those two if() check's.
The code needs to do something like this in the first if-check:
.....
bool new_pps_gotten = false;
....
if (pps_change && !special_qp && real_qp->qp_sec) {
mutex_lock(&real_qp->qp_sec->mutex);
new_pps = get_new_pps(real_qp,
qp_attr,
qp_attr_mask);
new_pps_gotten = true;
....
}
....
and change the second if check to be:
if (new_pps_gotten) {
* Clean up the lists and free the appropriate
.....
Thanks Don, I think it's better to initialize new_pps to NULL, vs introducing a new variable. Also, there needs to be a check of new_pps after getting it.
yup, I considered that as well.
wasn't sure if lockdep checking code would not like the fact that a mutex_lock() could be taken,
but if new_pps == NULL after the get call(it may always succeed, but an analyzer may not conclude the same),
that the mutex_unlock() wouldn't be called.
the double, same-condition if-check with the fcn call in btwn seems like it ought to be
restructured differently so the mutex lock/unlock pairs are contained neatly in a single if-clause,
and the new_pps alloc & use would be similarly containted.

Is someone doing a v3? I didn't see an email today w/another patch version.
... at least I wasn't directly cc'd on one anyhow... off to check linux-rdma folder...
nothing there... and I don't find a v3 in Leon's tree either.
