[PATCH] rt-mutex: fixup rt-mutex debug code

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Thu Oct 12 2006 - 09:08:36 EST



BUG: warning at kernel/rtmutex-debug.c:125/rt_mutex_debug_task_free() (Not tainted)
[<c04051e3>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x58/0x16a
[<c04057f0>] show_trace+0xd/0x10
[<c0405900>] dump_stack+0x19/0x1b
[<c043f03d>] rt_mutex_debug_task_free+0x35/0x6a
[<c04224c0>] free_task+0x15/0x24
[<c042378c>] copy_process+0x12bd/0x1324
[<c0423835>] do_fork+0x42/0x113
[<c04021dd>] sys_fork+0x19/0x1b
[<c0403fb7>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb

In copy_process(), dup_task_struct() also duplicates the ->pi_lock,
->pi_waiters and ->pi_blocked_on members. rt_mutex_debug_task_free()
called from free_task() validates these members. However free_task()
can be invoked before these members are reset for the new task.

Move the initialization code before the first bail that can hit free_task().
