Re: [PATCH 1/2] locking/mutex: Clean up mutex.h

Hello

Excuse me, this is my 4th letter here since December 2023 and there's no response unfortunately.


Just to recall that we had the discussion in December 2023 about implementing devm_mutex_init. We came to conclusion that the only effective way to do it in include/linux/mutex.h but mutex.h requires
some cleanups to simplify the devm_mutex_init patch.
mutex.h owners proposed such a cleanup patch themselves and there's no progress since that. How can we move forward on those patches?

Cleanup patch:

Original problem that requires devm_mutex_init and discussion:
