The linux-next integration testing tree
1b6e068a0c
We have a few places that check if we have the inode locked by doing:
ASSERT(inode_is_locked(vfs_inode));
This actually proved to be useful several times as if assertions are
enabled (and by default they are in many distros) it immediately triggers
a crash which is impossible for users to miss.
However that doesn't check if the lock is held by the calling task, so
the check passes if some other task locked the inode.
Using one of the lockdep functions to check the lock is held, like
lockdep_assert_held() for example, does check that the calling task
holds the lock, and if that's not the case it produces a warning and
stack trace in dmesg. However, despite the misleading "assert" in the
name of the lockdep helpers, it does not trigger a crash/BUG_ON(), just
a warning and splat in dmesg, which is easy to get unnoticed by users
who may have lockdep enabled.
So add a helper that does the ASSERT() and calls lockdep_assert_held()
immediately after and use it every where we check the inode is locked.
Like this if the lock is held by some other task we get the warning
in dmesg which is caught by fstests, very helpful during development,
and may also be occassionaly noticed by users with lockdep enabled.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
