From: Chuansheng Liu Date: Wed, 4 Dec 2013 05:58:13 +0000 (+0800) Subject: mutexes: Give more informative mutex warning in the !lock->owner case X-Git-Tag: v3.14-rc1~175^2~11 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=91f30a17024ff0d8345e11228af33ee938b13426;p=pandora-kernel.git mutexes: Give more informative mutex warning in the !lock->owner case When mutex debugging is enabled and an imbalanced mutex_unlock() is called, we get the following, slightly confusing warning: [ 364.208284] DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->owner != current) But in that case the warning is due to an imbalanced mutex_unlock() call, and the lock->owner is NULL - so the message is misleading. So improve the message by testing for this case specifically: DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(!lock->owner) Signed-off-by: Liu, Chuansheng Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Paul E.
