I have seen some drivers or file systems calls "cond_resched_lock" when
holding a spinlock.
An example is in fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmdomain.c:
dlm_migrate_all_locks (acquire the spinlock)
cond_resched_lock
I find that "cond_resched_lock" has two functions: "___might_sleep" and
"__cond_resched_lock".
I know that "__cond_resched_lock" is safe and okay to be called when
holding a spinlock.
However, I think "___might_sleep" can be removed, because it prints
error messages in this situation, but it is safe in fact.
Am I right? I am looking forward to your comments :)
Thanks,
