mutexes: Give more informative mutex warning in the !lock->owner case
When mutex debugging is enabled and an imbalanced mutex_unlock() is called, we get the following, slightly confusing warning: [ 364.208284] DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->owner != current) But in that case the warning is due to an imbalanced mutex_unlock() call, and the lock->owner is NULL - so the message is misleading. So improve the message by testing for this case specifically: DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(!lock->owner) Signed-off-by: Liu, Chuansheng <chuansheng.liu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Paul E.
