Subject: [PATCH] mutex: Always clear owner field upon mutex_unlock()
Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2015 10:29:35 +0000
Message-ID: <1420540175-30204-1-git-send-email-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> (raw)
Currently if DEBUG_MUTEXES is enabled, the mutex->owner field is only
cleared iff debug_locks is active. This exposes a race to other users of
the field where the mutex->owner may be still set to a stale value,
potentially upsetting mutex_spin_on_owner() among others.
