Revert "locking/mutex: Complain upon mutex API misuse in IRQ contexts"

2019-12-10T23:27:43+00:00

This ended up causing some noise in places such as rxrpc running in softirq.

The warning is misleading in this case as the mutex trylock and unlock
operations are done within the same context; and therefore we need not
worry about the PI-boosting issues that comes along with no single-owner
lock guarantees.

While we don't want to support this in mutexes, there is no way out of
this yet; so lets get rid of the WARNs for now, as it is only fair to
code that has historically relied on non-preemptible softirq guarantees.
In addition, changing the lock type is also unviable: exclusive rwsems
have the same issue (just not the WARN_ON) and counting semaphores
would introduce a performance hit as mutexes are a lot more optimized.

This reverts:

locking/mutex: Complain upon mutex API misuse in IRQ contexts

2019-10-29T11:22:52+00:00

Add warning checks if mutex_trylock() or mutex_unlock() are used in
IRQ contexts, under CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y.

While the mutex rules and semantics are explicitly documented, this allows
to expose any abusers and robustifies the whole thing.

While trylock and unlock are non-blocking, calling from IRQ context
is still forbidden (lock must be within the same context as unlock).

locking/lockdep: Remove unused @nested argument from lock_release()

2019-10-09T10:46:10+00:00

Since the following commit:

  b4adfe8e05f1 ("locking/lockdep: Remove unused argument in __lock_release")

@nested is no longer used in lock_release(), so remove it from all
lock_release() calls and friends.

mutex: Fix up mutex_waiter usage

2019-08-08T07:09:25+00:00

The patch moving bits into mutex.c was a little too much; by also
moving struct mutex_waiter a few less common CONFIGs would no longer
build.

locking/mutex: Make __mutex_owner static to mutex.c

2019-08-06T10:49:16+00:00

__mutex_owner() should only be used by the mutex api's.
So, to put this restiction let's move the __mutex_owner()
function definition from linux/mutex.h to mutex.c file.

There exist functions that uses __mutex_owner() like
mutex_is_locked() and mutex_trylock_recursive(), So
to keep legacy thing intact move them as well and
export them.

Move mutex_waiter structure also to keep it private to the
file.

locking/mutex: Test for initialized mutex

2019-07-25T13:39:27+00:00

An uninitialized/ zeroed mutex will go unnoticed because there is no
check for it. There is a magic check in the unlock's slowpath path which
might go unnoticed if the unlock happens in the fastpath.

Add a ->magic check early in the mutex_lock() and mutex_trylock() path.

docs: locking: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

2019-07-15T11:53:27+00:00

Convert the locking documents to ReST and add them to the
kernel development book where it belongs.

Most of the stuff here is just to make Sphinx to properly
parse the text file, as they're already in good shape,
not requiring massive changes in order to be parsed.

The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fix tables markups;
  - add some lists markups;
  - mark literal blocks;
  - adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

treewide: Add SPDX license identifier for missed files

2019-05-21T08:50:45+00:00

Add SPDX license identifiers to all files which:

 - Have no license information of any form

 - Have EXPORT_.*_SYMBOL_GPL inside which was used in the
   initial scan/conversion to ignore the file

These files fall under the project license, GPL v2 only. The resulting SPDX
license identifier is:

  GPL-2.0-only
