[PATCH] rwlock_is_locked undefined for UP systems

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 253 bytes --]

Hi,
    I had to use rwlock_is_locked( ) with linux2.6 for kdb and noticed that
this routine to be undefined for UP.  I have attached the patch for 2.6.1
below to return 0 for rwlock_is_locked( ) on UP systems.
Please let me know.

Thanks
Prashanth

I consider any user of this on UP to be broken, just like UP use of
spin_is_locked() is always a bug..... better a compiletime bug than a
runtime bug I guess...

we don't implement spin_is_locked on UP either because there's no really
usefull return value.  The lock will never be taken on !SMP && !PREEMPT,
but OTOH it's also not needed, so any assert on will give false results.
And the assert is probably the only thing that the _is_locked routines
could used for sanely.

Then maybe a #error explaining this is in order ?

So, if there is a function

void foo_locked(struct bar *obj)
{
    /* check that we are called with obj's lock held */
    BUG_ON(!rwlock_is_locked(&obj->lock));
    /* proceed with obj. */
}

it should now be changed to the

void foo_locked(struct bar *obj)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
    BUG_ON(!rwlock_is_locked(&obj->lock));
#endif
    /* proceed with obj. */
}

?

You forgot preempt... ;)

ok....I understand that rwlock_is_locked( ) is to be protected by
CONFIG_SMP.  But I was tempted when I saw spin_is_locked( )
to be returning zero for !SMP in include/linux/spinlock.h . 
Am I seeing something wrong here?
