Subject: [PATCH] rcu: mollify sparse with RCU guard
Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2024 11:16:27 +0100

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

When using "guard(rcu)();" sparse will complain, because even
though it now understands the cleanup attribute, it doesn't
evaluate the calls from it at function exit, and thus doesn't
count the context correctly.

Given that there's a conditional in the resulting code:

  static inline void class_rcu_destructor(class_rcu_t *_T)
  {
      if (_T->lock) {
          rcu_read_unlock();
      }
  }

it seems that even trying to teach sparse to evalulate the
cleanup attribute function it'd still be difficult to really
make it understand the full context here.

Suppress the sparse warning by just releasing the context in
the acquisition part of the function, after all we know it's
safe with the guard, that's the whole point of it.
