As Boqun pointed out, current->hist_id should be aligned with the latest valid xhlock->hist_id so that hist_id_save[] storing current->hist_id can be comparable with xhlock->hist_id. Fix it. Additionally, the condition for overwrite-detection should be the opposite. Fix it with modifying comment. <- direction to visit hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (h: history) ^^ ^ || start from here |previous entry current entry Signed-off-by: Byungchul Park <byungchul.park@xxxxxxx> --- kernel/locking/lockdep.c | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/locking/lockdep.c b/kernel/locking/lockdep.c index 1ae4258..f0e6649 100644 --- a/kernel/locking/lockdep.c +++ b/kernel/locking/lockdep.c @@ -4853,7 +4853,7 @@ static void add_xhlock(struct held_lock *hlock) /* Initialize hist_lock's members */ xhlock->hlock = *hlock; - xhlock->hist_id = current->hist_id++; + xhlock->hist_id = ++current->hist_id; xhlock->trace.nr_entries = 0; xhlock->trace.max_entries = MAX_XHLOCK_TRACE_ENTRIES; @@ -5030,11 +5030,11 @@ static void commit_xhlocks(struct cross_lock *xlock) /* * Filter out the cases that the ring buffer was - * overwritten and the previous entry has a bigger - * hist_id than the following one, which is impossible + * overwritten and the current entry has a bigger + * hist_id than the previous one, which is impossible * otherwise. */ - if (unlikely(before(xhlock->hist_id, prev_hist_id))) + if (unlikely(before(prev_hist_id, xhlock->hist_id))) break; prev_hist_id = xhlock->hist_id; -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
