[PATCH v3 0/3] Wait/wound mutex implementation, v3

From: Maarten Lankhorst
Date: Sun Apr 28 2013 - 13:52:47 EST


The following series implements the updated api for wait/wound mutex locks.
The documentation and api should be complete, the implementation may not be
final. There is no support for -rt yet, and TASK_DEADLOCK handling is missing
too. However I believe that this is an implementation detail, and that the
interface for users of the api will not behave differently.

ww_acquire_ctx has been added, and a whole lot of api abuses are now correctly
detected because of the extra state carried in ww_acquire_ctx if debugging is
enabled.

Maarten Lankhorst (3):
arch: make __mutex_fastpath_lock_retval return whether fastpath succeeded or not.
mutex: add support for wound/wait style locks, v3
mutex: Add ww tests to lib/locking-selftest.c. v3
