Pull WW mutex support from Ingo Molnar: "This tree adds support for wound/wait style locks, which the graphics guys would like to make use of in the TTM graphics subsystem. Wound/wait mutexes are used when other multiple lock acquisitions of a similar type can be done in an arbitrary order. The deadlock handling used here is called wait/wound in the RDBMS literature: The older tasks waits until it can acquire the contended lock. The younger tasks needs to back off and drop all the locks it is currently holding, ie the younger task is wounded. See this LWN.net description of W/W mutexes: https://lwn.net/Articles/548909/ The comments there outline specific usecases for this facility (which have already been implemented for the DRM tree). Also see Documentation/ww-mutex-design.txt for more details" * 'core-mutexes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: locking-selftests: Handle unexpected failures more strictly mutex: Add more w/w tests to test EDEADLK path handling mutex: Add more tests to lib/locking-selftest.c mutex: Add w/w tests to lib/locking-selftest.c mutex: Add w/w mutex slowpath debugging mutex: Add support for wound/wait style locks arch: Make __mutex_fastpath_lock_retval return whether fastpath succeeded or not |
