44 * Initialize the mutex to unlocked state.

63 * We split the mutex lock/unlock logic into separate fastpath and
64 * slowpath functions, to reduce the register pressure on the fastpath.
65 * We also put the fastpath first in the kernel image, to make sure the
66 * branch is predicted by the CPU as default-untaken.

72 * mutex_lock - acquire the mutex
73 * @lock: the mutex to be acquired
75 * Lock the mutex exclusively for this task. If the mutex is not
76 * available right now, it will sleep until it can get it.
78 * The mutex must later on be released by the same task that
79 * acquired it. Recursive locking is not allowed. The task
80 * may not exit without first unlocking the mutex. Also, kernel
81 * memory where the mutex resides mutex must not be freed with
82 * the mutex still locked. The mutex must first be initialized
83 * (or statically defined) before it can be locked. memset()-ing
84 * the mutex to 0 is not allowed.
86 * ( The CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES .config option turns on debugging
87 * checks that will enforce the restrictions and will also do
88 * deadlock debugging. )
