[PATCH 2/2] serial: imx: Add more comments on port lock status
Posted by Esben Haabendal 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Comments regarding status of port.lock on internal functions is useful when
reviewing correct handling of registers that must be protected by this
lock.

I think you are referring to sport.lock. On the other hand, instead of
just adding comments, wouldn't it be better to make it explicit?
Adding 
> lockdep_assert_held(&sport->port->lock);
and/or sparse annoations
> __must_hold(&sport->port->lock)

seems more reasonable to me than adding non-enforcing comments.

Best regards,
Alexander

Yes.

I fear that due to the way that legacy console works, assertations might
trigger in special situations, such as printk during panic.

Converting comments to assertations could definitely be a good idea, but
I think it might be better to wait with that until the driver has been
converted to NBCON (in progress, see
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240913-serial-imx-nbcon-v3-1-4c627302335b@geanix.com/),
as that will change the code paths this code will be used in.
