Hi Martin, This patch series enables context analysis for the SCSI core and the UFS driver. The advantages are as follows: - The compiler (only Clang) verifies whether the lock and unlock calls match what has been declared via __must_hold(), __acquires() or __releases(). This is useful for catching locking bugs in error paths. - Support for __guarded_by() is enabled. If a member variable is annotated with __guarded_by(lock), the compiler will issue a warning if that member variable is accessed without holding 'lock'. Additionally, a patch is included that suppresses KCSAN complaints about SCSI host state changes. More information about lock context analysis is available in the cover letter of [PATCH v5 00/36] Compiler-Based Context- and Locking-Analysis (https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/). Please consider this patch series for the next merge window. Thanks, Bart. Changes compared to v5: - In patch 5/6, add __must_hold() to both the definition and the declaration of scsi_host_set_state(). Use locking in scsi_get_host_state() instead of READ_ONCE(). Add #include <linux/cleanup.h>. Rename host_state into state. - In patch 6/6, refer to context analysis instead of compiler warnings. - Include changes for the leapraid driver. - Added several Reviewed-by tags. Changes compared to v4: - Added Reviewed-by tags to the UFS patches. - Made the title and the description of patch 3/6 more detailed. Changes compared to v3: - Left out all changes except those for the SCSI core and the UFS driver. Changes compared to v2: - Added patch "scsi: core: Pass the SCSI host pointer directly". - Corrected several annotations that had missing or extra ampersands (&). - Reduced the number of __assume_ctx_lock() statements. Changes compared to v1: - Split patch "Enable lock context analysis" into one patch per driver.
