[PATCH v4 7/7] platform/x86/amd/hsmp: Make metric table read locking use guard(mutex)

From: Muralidhara M K

Date: Thu May 28 2026 - 05:41:41 EST


hsmp_metric_tbl_read() refreshes the SMU-side metric table and then
memcpy_fromio()'s the result. Without serialization, two parallel
readers can interleave the refresh and the copy and the caller
observes a torn (mixed old/new) snapshot. Add a per-socket
metric_tbl_lock so the refresh-and-copy sequence is atomic from
userspace's point of view.

Use scoped guard(mutex) so the lock is released on every return
path without hand-written goto chains, and initialize the mutex
with devm_mutex_init() so no explicit mutex_destroy() cleanup is
required.

Initialize the mutex before devm_ioremap() so the invariant
"sock->metric_tbl_addr != NULL implies metric_tbl_lock is usable"
holds on every error exit. Both callers of hsmp_get_tbl_dram_base()
(init_acpi() and init_platform_device()) intentionally only log a
failure and continue probing, so initializing the mutex after a
successful ioremap would leave sock->metric_tbl_addr populated with
an uninitialized lock, and the next hsmp_metric_tbl_read() would
take guard(mutex)() on garbage memory. With the order swapped, a
devm_mutex_init() failure returns early before metric_tbl_addr is
ever set, and the existing NULL check in hsmp_metric_tbl_read()
keeps rejecting the read with -ENOMEM as before.
