Subject: [PATCH] locking: Giving mutex warning more precisely in case of !lock->owner
Date: Wed, 04 Dec 2013 13:58:13 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1386136693.3650.48.camel@cliu38-desktop-build> (raw)
When enabling mutex debugging, in case the imbalanced mutex_unlock()
is called, we still get the warning like below:
[ 364.208284] DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->owner != current)
But in that case, it is due to imbalanced mutex_unlock calling, and
the lock->owner is NULL.
Here we can enhance the case to give the warning as below:
DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->owner == NULL)
