Hi Roberto,

Those were added in 040a0a371005 ("mutex: Add support for wound/wait
style locks").  There is no documentation, but it's possible it was
done deliberately because when you have debugging enabled that's linux
specific hence the GPL?

I wouldn't encourage you to send this as a first patch...

1) Patches need to be inline (not as attachment)
2) Need a subsystem prefix in the subject.
3) The Rationale needs to be in the commit message.
4) Send the patch to the people from ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl

regards,
dan carpenter
