Subject: Lockdep usage
Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2010 23:26:07 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4BCFEBFF.4090505@us.ibm.com> (raw)
I'm having some trouble with lockstat. I've enabled CONFIG_LOCK_STATS
and then run the following commands to collect the lock statistics for
the futex_lock test case. I expect this test case to generate a fair
amount of contention on the futex hash bucket locks, but they don't show
up in the stats (in fact, nothing shows up in the stats). I have seen
much longer lock_stat files when I forgot to clear them before the test,
but no hb locks showed up there either.
Is my usage below incorrect? Do I have to somehow annotate the hb->lock
in order for lockstat to track it?
This is as of:
