  • 1ee416805   Documentation: kernel-locking: mutex_trylock cannot be used in interrupt context ... Browse Code »

    Chapter 6 is right about mutex_trylock, but chapter 10 wasn't. This error
    was introduced during semaphore-to-mutex conversion of the Unreliable
    guide. :-)

    If user context which performs mutex_lock() or mutex_trylock() is
    preempted by interrupt context which performs mutex_trylock() on the same
    mutex instance, a deadlock occurs. This is because these functions do not
    disable local IRQs when they operate on mutex->wait_lock.

  • 78305de2f   Remove mention of semaphores from kernel-locking ... Browse Code »

    Since the consensus seems to be to eliminate semaphores where possible,
    we shouldn't be educating people about how to use them as locks. Use
    mutexes instead. Semaphores should be described in a separate document
    if we end up keeping them.

  • 621e59a77   docbook: make kernel-locking table readable ... Browse Code »

    Andi Kleen pointed out to me that the kernel locking cheat sheet
    table entries are unreadable.

    Make table entries smaller so that pdf and ps output is readable
    (columns were being overwritten and garbled) by using abbreviations.
    This allows the tables to fit on one page cleanly.
    Add a Legend for the abbreviations:
    SLIS: spin_lock_irqsave
    SLI: spin_lock_irq
    SL: spin_lock
    SLBH: spin_lock_bh
    DI: down_interruptible

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
