From a24fc60d63da2b0b31bf7c876d12a51ed4b778bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2015 14:46:53 +0200 Subject: lockdep: Implement lock pinning Add a lockdep annotation that WARNs if you 'accidentially' unlock a lock. This is especially helpful for code with callbacks, where the upper layer assumes a lock remains taken but a lower layer thinks it maybe can drop and reacquire the lock. By unwittingly breaking up the lock, races can be introduced. Lock pinning is a lockdep annotation that helps with this, when you lockdep_pin_lock() a held lock, any unlock without a lockdep_unpin_lock() will produce a WARN. Think of this as a relative of lockdep_assert_held(), except you don't only assert its held now, but ensure it stays held until you release your assertion. RFC: a possible alternative API would be something like: int cookie = lockdep_pin_lock(&foo); ... lockdep_unpin_lock(&foo, cookie); Where we pick a random number for the pin_count; this makes it impossible to sneak a lock break in without also passing the right cookie along. I've not done this because it ends up generating code for !LOCKDEP, esp. if you need to pass the cookie around for some reason.
