From 3ee7be9e10dd5f79448788b899591d4bd2bf0c19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2025 17:49:20 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] PM: EM: Address RCU-related sparse warnings
The usage of __rcu in the Energy Model code is quite inconsistent which causes the following sparse warnings to trigger:

This is because the __rcu annotation for sparse is only applicable to pointers that need rcu_dereference() or equivalent for protection, which basically means pointers assigned with rcu_assign_pointer().
Make all of the above sparse warnings go away by cleaning up the usage of __rcu and using rcu_dereference_protected() where applicable.
