Hi, Steven.
Nice to meet you again.
I have read the rt-mutex-design.txt that you wrote. That is excellent description of rt_mutex. But I have a question for rt_mutex.
As you said:

After read the implementation of rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain(), I found the we really require maximin lock depth (1024 default), but I can not see the check for more same locks duplication. Does this doc is inconsistent with code?
Thanks in advanced.
Good luck. - Li Yu - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
