Subject[PATCH 3.10 07/32] drm/i915: Fix mutex->owner inspection race under DEBUG_MUTEXES
Date
3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>

commit 226e5ae9e5f9108beb0bde4ac69f68fe6210fed9 upstream.

If CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES is set, the mutex->owner field is only cleared
if the mutex debugging is enabled which introduces a race in our
mutex_is_locked_by() - i.e. we may inspect the old owner value before it
is acquired by the new task.

This is the root cause of this error:

# diff --git a/kernel/locking/mutex-debug.c b/kernel/locking/mutex-debug.c
