2026-04-23locking/mutex: Fix ww_mutex wait_list operationsPeter Zijlstra
Chaitanya, John and Mikhail reported commit 25500ba7e77c ("locking/mutex: Remove the list_head from struct mutex") wrecked ww_mutex. Specifically there were 2 issues: - __ww_waiter_prev() had the termination condition wrong; it would terminate when the previous entry was the first, which results in a truncated iteration: W3, W2, (no W1). - __mutex_add_waiter(@pos != NULL), as used by __ww_waiter_add() / __ww_mutex_add_waiter(); this inserts @waiter before @pos (which is what list_add_tail() does). But this should then also update lock->first_waiter. Much thanks to Prateek for spotting the __mutex_add_waiter() issue!

2026-04-03sched/locking: Add special p->blocked_on==PROXY_WAKING value for proxy ↵John Stultz
return-migration As we add functionality to proxy execution, we may migrate a donor task to a runqueue where it can't run due to cpu affinity. Thus, we must be careful to ensure we return-migrate the task back to a cpu in its cpumask when it becomes unblocked. Peter helpfully provided the following example with pictures: "Suppose we have a ww_mutex cycle: ,-+-* Mutex-1 <-. Task-A ---' | | ,-- Task-B `-> Mutex-2 *-+-' Where Task-A holds Mutex-1 and tries to acquire Mutex-2, and where Task-B holds Mutex-2 and tries to acquire Mutex-1. Then the blocked_on->owner chain will go in circles. Task-A -> Mutex-2 ^ | | v Mutex-1 <- Task-B We need two things: - find_proxy_task() to stop iterating the circle; - the woken task to 'unblock' and run, such that it can back-off and re-try the transaction. Now, the current code [without this patch] does: __clear_task_blocked_on(); wake_q_add(); And surely clearing ->blocked_on is sufficient to break the cycle. Suppose it is Task-B that is made to back-off, then we have: Task-A -> Mutex-2 -> Task-B (no further blocked_on) and it would attempt to run Task-B. Or worse, it could directly pick Task-B and run it, without ever getting into find_proxy_task(). Now, here is a problem because Task-B might not be runnable on the CPU it is currently on; and because !task_is_blocked() we don't get into the proxy paths, so nobody is going to fix this up. Ideally we would have dequeued Task-B alongside of clearing ->blocked_on, but alas, [the lock ordering prevents us from getting the task_rq_lock() and] spoils things." Thus we need more than just a binary concept of the task being blocked on a mutex or not. So allow setting blocked_on to PROXY_WAKING as a special value which specifies the task is no longer blocked, but needs to be evaluated for return migration *before* it can be run. This will then be used in a later patch to handle proxy return-migration.

2026-04-03locking: Add task::blocked_lock to serialize blocked_on stateJohn Stultz
So far, we have been able to utilize the mutex::wait_lock for serializing the blocked_on state, but when we move to proxying across runqueues, we will need to add more state and a way to serialize changes to this state in contexts where we don't hold the mutex::wait_lock. So introduce the task::blocked_lock, which nests under the mutex::wait_lock in the locking order, and rework the locking to use it.

2026-03-08locking/mutex: Remove the list_head from struct mutexMatthew Wilcox (Oracle)
Instead of embedding a list_head in struct mutex, store a pointer to the first waiter. The list of waiters remains a doubly linked list so we can efficiently add to the tail of the list, remove from the front (or middle) of the list. Some of the list manipulation becomes more complicated, but it's a reasonable tradeoff on the slow paths to shrink data structures which embed a mutex like struct file. Some of the debug checks have to be deleted because there's no equivalent to checking them in the new scheme (eg an empty waiter->list now means that it is the only waiter, not that the waiter is no longer on the list).

2025-12-01locking/mutex: Redo __mutex_init() to reduce generated code sizeSebastian Andrzej Siewior
mutex_init() invokes __mutex_init() providing the name of the lock and a pointer to a the lock class. With LOCKDEP enabled this information is useful but without LOCKDEP it not used at all. Passing the pointer information of the lock class might be considered negligible but the name of the lock is passed as well and the string is stored. This information is wasting storage. Split __mutex_init() into a _genereic() variant doing the initialisation of the lock and a _lockdep() version which does _genereic() plus the lockdep bits. Restrict the lockdep version to lockdep enabled builds allowing the compiler to remove the unused parameter.

2025-05-27locking/mutex: implement mutex_lock_killable_nest_lockMaxim Levitsky
KVM's SEV intra-host migration code needs to lock all vCPUs of the source and the target VM, before it proceeds with the migration. The number of vCPUs that belong to each VM is not bounded by anything except a self-imposed KVM limit of CONFIG_KVM_MAX_NR_VCPUS vCPUs which is significantly larger than the depth of lockdep's lock stack. Luckily, the locks in both of the cases mentioned above, are held under the 'kvm->lock' of each VM, which means that we can use the little known lockdep feature called a "nest_lock" to support this use case in a cleaner way, compared to the way it's currently done. Implement and expose 'mutex_lock_killable_nest_lock' for this purpose.

2025-05-27locking/mutex: implement mutex_trylock_nestedMaxim Levitsky
Despite the fact that several lockdep-related checks are skipped when calling trylock* versions of the locking primitives, for example mutex_trylock, each time the mutex is acquired, a held_lock is still placed onto the lockdep stack by __lock_acquire() which is called regardless of whether the trylock* or regular locking API was used. This means that if the caller successfully acquires more than MAX_LOCK_DEPTH locks of the same class, even when using mutex_trylock, lockdep will still complain that the maximum depth of the held lock stack has been reached and disable itself. For example, the following error currently occurs in the ARM version of KVM, once the code tries to lock all vCPUs of a VM configured with more than MAX_LOCK_DEPTH vCPUs, a situation that can easily happen on modern systems, where having more than 48 CPUs is common, and it's also common to run VMs that have vCPU counts approaching that number: [ 328.171264] BUG: MAX_LOCK_DEPTH too low!

The action of 'nested lock' being provided to lockdep's lock_acquire(), causes the lockdep to detect that the top of the held lock stack contains a lock of the same class and then increment its reference counter instead of pushing a new held_lock item onto that stack.

2025-05-11hung_task: replace blocker_mutex with encoded blockerLance Yang
Patch series "hung_task: extend blocking task stacktrace dump to semaphore", v5. Inspired by mutex blocker tracking[1], this patch series extend the feature to not only dump the blocker task holding a mutex but also to support semaphores. Unlike mutexes, semaphores lack explicit ownership tracking, making it challenging to identify the root cause of hangs. To address this, we introduce a last_holder field to the semaphore structure, which is updated when a task successfully calls down() and cleared during up(). The assumption is that if a task is blocked on a semaphore, the holders must not have released it. While this does not guarantee that the last holder is one of the current blockers, it likely provides a practical hint for diagnosing semaphore-related stalls.

2025-03-21hung_task: show the blocker task if the task is hung on mutexMasami Hiramatsu (Google)
Patch series "hung_task: Dump the blocking task stacktrace", v4. The hung_task detector is very useful for detecting the lockup. However, since it only dumps the blocked (uninterruptible sleep) processes, it is not enough to identify the root cause of that lockup. For example, if a process holds a mutex and sleep an event in interruptible state long time, the other processes will wait on the mutex in uninterruptible state. In this case, the waiter processes are dumped, but the blocker process is not shown because it is sleep in interruptible state. This adds a feature to dump the blocker task which holds a mutex when detecting a hung task. e.g. INFO: task cat:115 blocked for more than 122 seconds.

We can follow the waiter link but the output will be a bit different compared with mutex case. This patch (of 2): The "hung_task" shows a long-time uninterruptible slept task, but most often, it's blocked on a mutex acquired by another task. Without dumping such a task, investigating the root cause of the hung task problem is very difficult. This introduce task_struct::blocker_mutex to point the mutex lock which this task is waiting for. Since the mutex has "owner" information, we can find the owner task and dump it with hung tasks. Note: the owner can be changed while dumping the owner task, so this is "likely" the owner of the mutex. With this change, the hung task shows blocker task's info like below; INFO: task cat:115 blocked for more than 122 seconds.

2025-02-21locking/mutex: Add MUTEX_WARN_ON() into fast pathYunhui Cui
Scenario: In platform_device_register, the driver misuses struct device as platform_data, making kmemdup duplicate a device. Accessing the duplicate may cause list corruption due to its mutex magic or list holding old content. It recurs randomly as the first mutex - getting process skips the slow path and mutex check. Adding MUTEX_WARN_ON(lock->magic!= lock) in __mutex_trylock_fast() makes it always happen.

2024-12-20sched/wake_q: Add helper to call wake_up_q after unlock with preemption disabledJohn Stultz
A common pattern seen when wake_qs are used to defer a wakeup until after a lock is released is something like: preempt_disable(); raw_spin_unlock(lock); wake_up_q(wake_q); preempt_enable(); So create some raw_spin_unlock*_wake() helper functions to clean this up. Applies on top of the fix I submitted here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20241212222138.2400498-1-jstultz@google.com/ NOTE: I recognise the unlock()/unlock_irq()/unlock_irqrestore() variants creates its own duplication, which we could use a macro to generate the similar functions, but I often dislike how those generation macros making finding the actual implementation harder, so I left the three functions as is. If folks would prefer otherwise, let me know and I'll switch it.

2024-10-14locking/mutex: Expose __mutex_owner()Juri Lelli

With the proxy-execution series, we traverse the task->mutex->task blocked_on/owner chain in the scheduler core. We do this while holding the rq::lock to keep the structures in place while taking and releasing the alternating lock types. Since the mutex::wait_lock is one of the locks we will take in this way under the rq::lock in the scheduler core, we need to make sure that its usage elsewhere is irq safe.

2023-12-01locking/mutex: Document that mutex_unlock() is non-atomicJann Horn
I have seen several cases of attempts to use mutex_unlock() to release an object such that the object can then be freed by another task. This is not safe because mutex_unlock(), in the MUTEX_FLAG_WAITERS && !MUTEX_FLAG_HANDOFF case, accesses the mutex structure after having marked it as unlocked; so mutex_unlock() requires its caller to ensure that the mutex stays alive until mutex_unlock() returns. If MUTEX_FLAG_WAITERS is set and there are real waiters, those waiters have to keep the mutex alive, but we could have a spurious MUTEX_FLAG_WAITERS left if an interruptible/killable waiter bailed between the points where __mutex_unlock_slowpath() did the cmpxchg reading the flags and where it acquired the wait_lock. ( With spinlocks, that kind of code pattern is allowed and, from what I remember, used in several places in the kernel. ) Document this, such a semantic difference between mutexes and spinlocks is fairly unintuitive.

2021-08-20locking/ww_mutex: Initialize waiter.ww_ctx properlySebastian Andrzej Siewior
The consolidation of the debug code for mutex waiter intialization sets waiter::ww_ctx to a poison value unconditionally. For regular mutexes this is intended to catch the case where waiter_ww_ctx is dereferenced accidentally. For ww_mutex the poison value has to be overwritten either with a context pointer or NULL for ww_mutexes without context. The rework broke this as it made the store conditional on the context pointer instead of the argument which signals whether ww_mutex code should be compiled in or optiized out. As a result waiter::ww_ctx ends up with the poison pointer for contextless ww_mutexes which causes a later dereference of the poison pointer because it is != NULL. Use the build argument instead so for ww_mutex the poison value is always overwritten.

2019-12-11Revert "locking/mutex: Complain upon mutex API misuse in IRQ contexts"Davidlohr Bueso
This ended up causing some noise in places such as rxrpc running in softirq. The warning is misleading in this case as the mutex trylock and unlock operations are done within the same context; and therefore we need not worry about the PI-boosting issues that comes along with no single-owner lock guarantees. While we don't want to support this in mutexes, there is no way out of this yet; so lets get rid of the WARNs for now, as it is only fair to code that has historically relied on non-preemptible softirq guarantees. In addition, changing the lock type is also unviable: exclusive rwsems have the same issue (just not the WARN_ON) and counting semaphores would introduce a performance hit as mutexes are a lot more optimized.
