Hi,
Can anybody explain the example? I am confused by the `{-.-...}`.
4344 When locking rules are violated, these state bits are presented in the45 locking error messages, inside curlies. A contrived example:4647 modprobe/2287 is trying to acquire lock:48 (&sio_locks[i].lock){-.-...}, at: [<c02867fd>] mutex_lock+0x21/0x244950 but task is already holding lock:51 (&sio_locks[i].lock){-.-...}, at: [<c02867fd>] mutex_lock+0x21/0x24525354 The bit position indicates STATE, STATE-read, for each of the states listed55 above, and the character displayed in each indicates:5657 '.' acquired while irqs disabled and not in irq context58 '-' acquired in irq context59 '+' acquired with irqs enabled60 '?' acquired in irq context with irqs enabled.
