Right, so I'm testing this out:

mark_rt_mutex_waiters(lock);

if (!rt_mutex_owner(lock) || try_to_steal_lock(lock, task)) {
/* We got the lock for task. */
debug_rt_mutex_lock(lock);

rt_mutex_set_owner(lock, task, 0);

rt_mutex_deadlock_account_lock(lock, task);
return 1;
}

Steven, is this the proper use of the debug* routines? I copied them
from try_to_take_rt_mutex(), but they are empty routines without
comments so I wasn't sure exactly how they were intended to be used.
Does the usage of debug_rt_mutex_lock() assume task=current (the other
has the task_struct passed int).

Thanks,

Darren
