Subject: Doubled stack dumps during locking testsuite
Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2006 23:26:33 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061216062633.GY21070@parisc-linux.org> (raw)


Hi Ingo,

I built a parisc kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKING_API_SELFTESTS enabled
recently, and got some interesting results:

                    double unlock:  ok  |  ok  |failed|WARNING at /home/willy/merge-2.6/kernel/mutex-debug.c:83 debug_mutex_unlock()

failed|failed|failed|

Now, lines 83 to 86 of mutex-debug.c are:

        DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->owner != current_thread_info());
        DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->magic != lock);
        DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(!lock->wait_list.prev && !lock->wait_list.next);
        DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->owner != current_thread_info());

Do we really need to test the same thing twice and produce the same
stack dump?

Moreover, do we want to get stack dumps while running the locking
testsuite in the first place?  From various comments, it looks
like it's supposed to be turned off, but it looks like the sense of
debug_locks_silent is inverted in the definition of DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON:

        if (unlikely(c)) {                                              \
                if (debug_locks_silent || debug_locks_off())            \
                        WARN_ON(1);                                     \

Surely that should be:

		if (!debug_locks_silent && debug_locks_off())
			WARN_ON(1);
