kernel/mutex.c says about mutex_unlock():
* This function must not be used in interrupt context.
However I have done some simple test cases that show it works without complaint. Now I understand that one shouldn't do this for good reasons. So is this a good coding practice rule, but something that could appear in sloppy or poorly designed code?
