Julia Lawall chose to mention the design possibility “put when != mutex_lock(E) after the ...”. https://systeme.lip6.fr/pipermail/cocci/2020-April/007107.html https://lore.kernel.org/cocci/alpine.DEB.2.21.2004091248190.2403@hadrien/ > I used 'exists' keyword to find at least one branch that has > mutex_unlock+kthread_stop+mutex_lock chain. Are you informed about development challenges for data flow analysis (or even escape analysis according to computer science)? How many experiences can be reused from other known approaches?
