[PATCH] Fix context checking detection of a reversed lock-pair within a basic block

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

 



This commit adds a new validation test case with a simple lock context
issue that was not previously caught by sparse. This test case is a simple
"reversed" lock pair (unlock/lock instead of lock/unlock):
+static void warn_reverse(void)
+{
+    r();
+    a();
+}

Previously, sparse would not flag this context imbalance because it happens
WITHIN a single basic block and imbalance checking was only done at the
boundaries of basic blocks. In this case, the lock following the unlock
results in a net context change of zero for this basic block, so checking
only at the boundaries of basic blocks is insufficient.

Primarily, this commit moves the checking for "unexpected unlock" inside
the context_increase function where it can correctly detect the new test
case as well as all other existing test cases.

In order to accommodate the primary change, some additional ancillary
changes are made:
* The entry point is added as an argument to context_increase() so that it
  can be passed to imbalance() if needed.
* The two arguments entry and exit are removed from imbalance() as they are
  currently unused in the function and it simplifies calling it in the new
  location (all call sites of imbalance() are changed).
* A prototype for imbalance() is added at top of the file as a call is now
  made before the function is defined.
