Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 21/24] hazptr: Introduce CONFIG_HAZPTR_DEBUG misuse detection
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 17:18:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260716001809.11084-21-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <23e34c2e-67fd-45da-b130-e70a131a59ea@paulmck-laptop>

From: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>

Introduce Hazard Pointers debug assert, which detects misuse of hazard
pointers, namely failure to detach the hazard pointer from its owner
thread before releasing it from a different thread.

Prints the following to the console when a failure is detected:

Hazard Pointer (addr=000000006885a05f) released on remote task without being detached from task. Acquire: caller=hazptr_torture_read_lock+0x43/0xa0 [hazptrtorture], pid=3727, cpu=1. Release: pid=3725, cpu=139.
