Subject[PATCH] mutex-debug: Check mutex magic before owner
FromJeremy Kerr <>
DateWed, 23 Apr 2008 15:38:12 +1000
Currently, the mutex debug code checks the lock->owner before
lock->magic, so a corrupt mutex will most likely result in
failing the owner check, rather than the magic check.

This change to debug_mutex_unlock does the magic check first, so
we have a better idea of what breaks.
