Re: [PATCH v5 02/10] locking/mutex: introduce devm_mutex_init

Hello Waiman, Marek

Thanks for the review.

I've never used lockdep for debug but it seems preferable to
keep that feature working. It could be look like this:

And now I would drop the the refactoring patch with moving down mutex_destroy. devm block is big enough to be declared standalone.

Using of devm API leads to a certain order of releasing resources.
So all dependent resources which are not devm-wrapped should be deleted
with respect to devm-release order. Mutex is one of such objects that
often is bound to other resources and has no own devm wrapping.
Since mutex_destroy() actually does nothing in non-debug builds
frequently calling mutex_destroy() is just ignored which is safe for now
but wrong formally and can lead to a problem if mutex_destroy() will be
extended so introduce devm_mutex_init()

   Hello Christophe. Hope you don't mind I put you SoB tag because you helped alot
   to make this patch happen.

Hi George,

look at
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/7013bf9e-2663-4613-ae61-61872e81355b@xxxxxxxxxx/
where Matthew and Hans explain that devm_mutex_init needs to be a macro
because of the static lockdep key.

so this should be something like:

static inline int __devm_mutex_init(struct device *dev, struct mutex *mutex,
				    const char *name,
				    struct lock_class_key *key)
{
	__mutex_init(mutex, name, key);
	return devm_add_action_or_reset(dev, devm_mutex_release, mutex);
}

#define devm_mutex_init(dev, mutex)				\
do {								\
	static struct lock_class_key __key;			\
								\
	__devm_mutex_init(dev, (mutex), #mutex, &__key);	\
} while (0);


Marek

Making devm_mutex_init() a function will make all the devm_mutex share
the same lockdep key. Making it a macro will make each caller of
devm_mutex_init() have a distinct lockdep key. It all depends on whether
all the devm_mutexes have the same lock usage pattern or not and whether
it is possible for one devm_mutex to be nested inside another. So either
way can be fine depending on the mutex usage pattern. My suggestion is
to use a function, if possible, unless it will cause a false positive
lockdep splat as there is a limit on the maximum # of lockdep keys that
can be used.

devm_mutex_init() should behave like other similar function
initializing stuff with resource management. I.e. it should behave like
mutex_init(), but with resource management.

mutex_init() is a macro generating static lockdep key for each instance,
so devm_mutex_init() should also generate static lockdep key for each
instance.

Marek
