[PATCH RT] mutex_init regression from 2.6.29.6-rt24

From: Frank Rowand
Date: Thu Mar 29 2012 - 22:27:33 EST



Fix regression of mutex_init() between 2.6.29.6-rt24 and 3.2.12-rt22
(regression exists in all 3.x versions).

In 2.6.29.6-rt24, with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT, mutex_init() is a define that
resolves to the function __mutex_init(), which is EXPORT_SYMBOL.
__mutex_init() further calls __rt_mutex_init(), which is EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.

In 3.2.12-rt22, with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL, mutex_init() is a define that
resolves to the function __rt_mutex_init(), which is EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.

Recreate an intermediary function (___rt_mutex_init()), which is
EXPORT_SYMBOL(), to make mutex_init() once again available to non-GPL modules.

Making this change without the 2.6.29.6-rt24 context would not be reasonable.
But the author of the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, __rt_mutex_init(), is also the
author of the 2.6.29.6-rt24 patches that created the EXPORT_SYMBOL function
__mutex_init(). The patches are rt-mutex-core.patch which creates
_mutex_init(), and rt-mutex-core-mutex-fixes.patch, which renames
_mutex_init() to __mutex_init(). The author and signed-off-by for these
patches is Ingo Molnar.

The full expansions from mutex_init() to __mutex_init() is:

# 2.6.29.6-rt24
# include/linux/mutex.h:
# define mutex_init(mutex) __mutex_init((mutex), #mutex, &__key);
# kernel/rt.c:
void __mutex_init(...) {
__rt_mutex_init()
# kernel/rtmutex.c:
void __rt_mutex_init(...) {
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(__rt_mutex_init)

# 3.0.12-rt29
# include/linux/mutex_rt.h:
# define mutex_init(mutex) rt_mutex_init(&(mutex)->lock);
# include/linux/rtmutex.h:
# define rt_mutex_init(mutex) __rt_mutex_init(mutex, #mutex);
# kernel/rtmutex.c:
void __rt_mutex_init() {
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(__rt_mutex_init)
