The WARN_ON(1) in DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON is surprisingly awkward to track down when it's hit, as it's usually buried in macros, causing multiple instances to land on the same line number.
This patch makes it more useful by switching to: WARN(1, "DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(%s)", #c); so that the particular DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON is more easily identified and grep'd for. For example: WARNING: at kernel/mutex.c:198 _mutex_lock_nested+0x31c/0x380() DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(l->magic != l) Signed-off-by: James Hogan <james.ho...@imgtec.com> Cc: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortma...@windriver.com> Cc: David Howells <dhowe...@redhat.com> --- include/linux/debug_locks.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/include/linux/debug_locks.h b/include/linux/debug_locks.h index 3bd46f7..21ca773 100644 --- a/include/linux/debug_locks.h +++ b/include/linux/debug_locks.h @@ -27,7 +27,7 @@ extern int debug_locks_off(void); \ if (!oops_in_progress && unlikely(c)) { \ if (debug_locks_off() && !debug_locks_silent) \ - WARN_ON(1); \ + WARN(1, "DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(%s)", #c); \ __ret = 1; \ } \ __ret; \ -- 1.8.1.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
