[PATCH] linux/compiler.h: Add __must_hold macro for functions called with a lock held

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



linux/compiler.h has macros to denote functions that acquire or release
locks, but not to denote functions called with a lock held that return
with the lock still held.  Add a __must_hold macro to cover that case.
