Subject: [PATCH] improve spinlock debugging
Date: Mon, 03 Dec 2001 21:10:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3C0BDC33.6E18C815@colorfullife.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 587 bytes --]
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK only adds spinlock tests for SMP builds. The
attached patch adds runtime checks for uniprocessor builds.
Tested on i386/UP, but it should work on all platforms. It contains
runtime checks for:
- missing initialization
- recursive lock
- double unlock
- incorrect use of spin_is_locked() or spin_trylock() [both function
do not work as expected on uniprocessor builds]
The next step are checks for spinlock ordering mismatches.
Which other runtime checks are possible?
Tests for correct _irq usage are not possible, several drivers use
disable_irq().

Spinlock debugging
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK
- Say Y here and build SMP to catch missing spinlock initialization
- and certain other kinds of spinlock errors commonly made. This is
+ Say Y here to add additional runtime checks into the spinlock
+ functions. On UP it detects missing initializations and simple
+ deadlocks. On SMP it finds missing initializations and certain other
+ kinds of spinlock errors commonly made, excluding deadlocks. This is
best used in conjunction with the NMI watchdog so that spinlock
deadlocks are also debuggable.
