Readers of irq_routing are protected via kvm->irq_srcu, but this writer is never
called with kvm->irq_srcu held. I do like the of replacing '1' with
lockdep_is_held(&kvm->irq_lock) to document the protection, so what about just
doing that? I.e.

Sorry for the long delay in replying. Although kvm->irq_srcu is not required
to protect irq_routing here, this interface function srcu_dereference_check
indicates that irq_routing is protected by kvm->irq_srcu in the kvm subsystem.
Thanks.

I agree, the last two arguments basically are alternative conditions to
satisfy the check:

#define srcu_dereference_check(p, ssp, c) \
__rcu_dereference_check((p), __UNIQUE_ID(rcu), \
(c) || srcu_read_lock_held(ssp), __rcu)

The idea is to share the code between readers and writers, so what do
you think of adding a

#define kvm_get_irq_routing(kvm) srcu_dereference_check(...)

macro at the top of virt/kvm/irqchip.c?

Thanks,

Paolo

But readers and writers naturally don't share code, and the subsequent
synchronize_srcu_expedited() is what really documents the interaction between
readers and writers.

It's definitely not a sticking point though, and this one does seems to be the
outlier in KVM.

I'm fine with any approach, though a macro seems like overkill.
