[PATCH 2/4] wifi: wilc1000: use SRCU instead of RCU for vif list traversal

From: Alexis Lothoré
Date: Thu Feb 15 2024 - 10:37:37 EST


Enabling CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST raises many warnings in wilc driver, even on
some places already protected by a read critical section. An example of
such case is in wilc_get_available_idx:

=============================

This warning is due to the section being protected by a srcu critical read
section, but the list traversal being done with classic RCU API. Fix the
warning by using corresponding SRCU read lock/unlock APIs. While doing so,
since we always manipulate the same list (managed through a pointer
embedded in struct_wilc), add a macro to reduce the corresponding
boilerplate in each call site.
