From a63b03e2d2477586440741677ecac45bcf28d7b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Wilson Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2015 10:29:35 +0000 Subject: mutex: Always clear owner field upon mutex_unlock() Currently if DEBUG_MUTEXES is enabled, the mutex->owner field is only cleared iff debug_locks is active. This exposes a race to other users of the field where the mutex->owner may be still set to a stale value, potentially upsetting mutex_spin_on_owner() among others.
