Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 13/28] selftests: tracing: Use mutex_unlock for testing glob filter
Date: Sun, 3 Aug 2025 20:42:12 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250804004227.3630243-13-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250804004227.3630243-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: "Masami Hiramatsu (Google)" <mhiramat@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit a089bb2822a49b0c5777a8936f82c1f8629231fb ]
Since commit c5b6ababd21a ("locking/mutex: implement
mutex_trylock_nested") makes mutex_trylock() as an inlined
function if CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y, we can not use
mutex_trylock() for testing the glob filter of ftrace.
Use mutex_unlock instead.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
## Backport Status: YES
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:
1. **It fixes a test regression**: The commit c5b6ababd21a changed
mutex_trylock() from being a regular function to an inline macro when
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y. This broke the ftrace glob filter selftest
that was trying to match functions with the pattern `mutex*try*`.
Since mutex_trylock is no longer a regular function symbol in certain
configurations, the test would fail.
2. **Simple and contained fix**: The change is minimal - it simply
replaces the test pattern from `mutex*try*` to `mutex*unl*` on line
32. This is a one-line change that:
- Changes the glob pattern from matching mutex_trylock functions to
mutex_unlock functions
- Maintains the same test logic and purpose (testing glob pattern
matching)
- mutex_unlock remains a regular function symbol regardless of
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
3. **No functional changes to kernel code**: This only affects a
selftest, not any kernel functionality. The risk of regression is
zero for normal kernel operation.
4. **Test reliability**: Without this fix, the ftrace selftest suite
would fail on kernels built with CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y after
commit c5b6ababd21a is applied. This could:
- Cause false test failures in CI/CD pipelines
- Make it harder to detect real ftrace issues
- Confuse developers running the test suite
5. **Clear dependency**: The commit message explicitly states this is
needed "Since commit c5b6ababd21a" which indicates this is a direct
fix for a known regression introduced by that specific commit.
The change is exactly the type that stable rules recommend: it fixes a
clear bug (test regression), is minimal in scope, has no risk of
breaking functionality, and maintains test coverage for an important
kernel feature (ftrace glob filtering).
