23 * In the DEBUG case we are using the "NULL fastpath" for mutexes,
24 * which forces all calls into the slowpath:

27 # include "mutex-debug.h"
28 # include <asm-generic/mutex-null.h>
31 # include <asm/mutex.h>
35 * mutex_init - initialize the mutex
36 * @lock: the mutex to be initialized
38 * Initialize the mutex to unlocked state.
40 * It is not allowed to initialize an already locked mutex.

52 EXPORT_SYMBOL(__mutex_init);
55 * We split the mutex lock/unlock logic into separate fastpath and
56 * slowpath functions, to reduce the register pressure on the fastpath.
57 * We also put the fastpath first in the kernel image, to make sure the
58 * branch is predicted by the CPU as default-untaken.

61 __mutex_lock_slowpath(atomic_t *lock_count);
64 * mutex_lock - acquire the mutex
65 * @lock: the mutex to be acquired
67 * Lock the mutex exclusively for this task. If the mutex is not
68 * available right now, it will sleep until it can get it.
70 * The mutex must later on be released by the same task that
71 * acquired it. Recursive locking is not allowed. The task
72 * may not exit without first unlocking the mutex. Also, kernel
73 * memory where the mutex resides mutex must not be freed with
74 * the mutex still locked. The mutex must first be initialized
75 * (or statically defined) before it can be locked. memset()-ing
76 * the mutex to 0 is not allowed.
78 * ( The CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES .config option turns on debugging
79 * checks that will enforce the restrictions and will also do
80 * deadlock debugging. )
82 * This function is similar to (but not equivalent to) down().
84 void inline fastcall __sched mutex_lock(struct mutex *lock)
88 * The locking fastpath is the 1->0 transition from
89 * 'unlocked' into 'locked' state.

103 * Unlock a mutex that has been locked by this task previously.
105 * This function must not be used in interrupt context. Unlocking
106 * of a not locked mutex is not allowed.
108 * This function is similar to (but not equivalent to) up().
