Bart Van Assche recently reported a warning to me: <IRQ> [<ffffffff8103d79f>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 [<ffffffff8103d7fa>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [<ffffffff814761dd>] mutex_trylock+0x16d/0x180 [<ffffffff813968c9>] netpoll_poll_dev+0x49/0xc30 [<ffffffff8136a2d2>] ? __alloc_skb+0x82/0x2a0 [<ffffffff81397715>] netpoll_send_skb_on_dev+0x265/0x410 [<ffffffff81397c5a>] netpoll_send_udp+0x28a/0x3a0 [<ffffffffa0541843>] ? write_msg+0x53/0x110 [netconsole] [<ffffffffa05418bf>] write_msg+0xcf/0x110 [netconsole] [<ffffffff8103eba1>] call_console_drivers.constprop.17+0xa1/0x1c0 [<ffffffff8103fb76>] console_unlock+0x2d6/0x450 [<ffffffff8104011e>] vprintk_emit+0x1ee/0x510 [<ffffffff8146f9f6>] printk+0x4d/0x4f [<ffffffffa0004f1d>] scsi_print_command+0x7d/0xe0 [scsi_mod] This resulted from my commit ca99ca14c which introduced a mutex_trylock operation in a path that could execute in interrupt context. When mutex debugging is enabled, the above warns the user when we are in fact exectuting in interrupt context interrupt context. After some discussion, It seems that a semaphore is the proper mechanism to use here. While mutexes are defined to be unusable in interrupt context, no such condition exists for semaphores (save for the fact that the non blocking api calls, like up and down_trylock must be used when in irq context).
