Have you tested your patch with lib/locking-selftests.c? It reported two
errors for me:
[..] | Wound/wait tests |
[..] ---------------------
[..] ww api failures: ok |FAILED| ok |
[..] ww contexts mixing: ok | ok |
[..] finishing ww context: ok | ok | ok | ok |
[..] locking mismatches: ok | ok | ok |
[..] EDEADLK handling: ok | ok | ok | ok | ok | ok | ok | ok | ok | ok |
[..] spinlock nest unlocked: ok |
[..] spinlock nest test: ok |
[..] -----------------------------------------------------
[..] |block | try |context|
[..] -----------------------------------------------------
[..] context: ok | ok | ok |
[..] try: ok | ok | ok |
[..] block: ok | ok | ok |
[..] spinlock: ok | ok |FAILED|
The first one is a use case issue, I think and can be fixed similar to
your changes in test-ww_mutex.c:

Please confirm whether this change is intended.
The second is a case as follow:
ww_acquire_init(...);
spin_lock(...);
ww_mutex_lock(...); // this should trigger a context
// invalidation. But the mutex was
// initialized by ww_acquire_init() as a
// LD_WAIT_INV lock.

A v3 with all these fixed would look good to me, and I can add a
Tested-by tag to it. Thanks!
