22 * In the DEBUG case we are using the "NULL fastpath" for mutexes,
23 * which forces all calls into the slowpath:
25 #ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES
26 # include "mutex-debug.h"
27 # include <asm-generic/mutex-null.h>
30 # include <asm/mutex.h>
34 * mutex_init - initialize the mutex
35 * @lock: the mutex to be initialized
37 * Initialize the mutex to unlocked state.
39 * It is not allowed to initialize an already locked mutex.

43 atomic_set(&lock->count, 1);
44 spin_lock_init(&lock->wait_lock);
45 INIT_LIST_HEAD(&lock->wait_list);
47 debug_mutex_init(lock, name);
50 EXPORT_SYMBOL(__mutex_init);
53 * We split the mutex lock/unlock logic into separate fastpath and
54 * slowpath functions, to reduce the register pressure on the fastpath.
55 * We also put the fastpath first in the kernel image, to make sure the
56 * branch is predicted by the CPU as default-untaken.

62 * mutex_lock - acquire the mutex
63 * @lock: the mutex to be acquired
65 * Lock the mutex exclusively for this task. If the mutex is not
66 * available right now, it will sleep until it can get it.
68 * The mutex must later on be released by the same task that
69 * acquired it. Recursive locking is not allowed. The task
70 * may not exit without first unlocking the mutex. Also, kernel
71 * memory where the mutex resides mutex must not be freed with
72 * the mutex still locked. The mutex must first be initialized
73 * (or statically defined) before it can be locked. memset()-ing
74 * the mutex to 0 is not allowed.
76 * ( The CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES .config option turns on debugging
77 * checks that will enforce the restrictions and will also do
78 * deadlock debugging. )
80 * This function is similar to (but not equivalent to) down().
82 void fastcall __sched mutex_lock(struct mutex *lock)
86 * The locking fastpath is the 1->0 transition from
87 * 'unlocked' into 'locked' state.

104 * of a not locked mutex is not allowed.
