Subject: [PATCH v19 3/8] locking/mutex: Add p->blocked_on wrappers for correctness checks
Date: Sat, 12 Jul 2025 03:33:44 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250712033407.2383110-4-jstultz@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250712033407.2383110-1-jstultz@google.com>

From: Valentin Schneider <valentin.schneider@arm.com>

This lets us assert mutex::wait_lock is held whenever we access
p->blocked_on, as well as warn us for unexpected state changes.

Tested-by: K Prateek Nayak <kprateek.nayak@amd.com>
Signed-off-by: Valentin Schneider <valentin.schneider@arm.com>
[fix conflicts, call in more places]
Signed-off-by: Connor O'Brien <connoro@google.com>
[jstultz: tweaked commit subject, reworked a good bit]
Signed-off-by: John Stultz <jstultz@google.com>
---
v2:
* Added get_task_blocked_on() accessor
v4:
* Address READ_ONCE usage that was dropped in v2
* Reordered to be a later add on to the main patch series as
  Peter was unhappy with similar wrappers in other patches.
v5:
* Added some extra correctness checking in wrappers
v7:
* Tweaks to reorder this change in the patch series
* Minor cleanup to set_task_blocked_on() suggested by Metin Kaya
v15:
* Split out into its own patch again.
* Further improve assumption checks in helpers.
v16:
* Fix optimistic spin case that can call schedule()
v17:
* Fix typos caught by Metin Kaya
* Add lockdep_assert_held_once and drop the READ_ONCE in
  __get_task_blocked_on(), as suggested by Juri Lelli
v19:
* PREEMPT_RT build fixes suggested by K Prateek Nayak
* Slight re-arrangement of functions to clean up later
