2009-04-26locking: Documentation: lockdep-design.txt, fix note of state bitsMing Lei
From source code of get_usage_char(), the previous note is not correct, so fix it. static char get_usage_char(struct lock_class *class, enum lock_usage_bit bit) { char c = '.'; if (class->usage_mask & lock_flag(bit + 2))/*LOCK_ENABLED_##STATE*/ c = '+'; if (class->usage_mask & lock_flag(bit)) {/*LOCK_USED_IN_##STATE*/ c = '-'; if (class->usage_mask & lock_flag(bit + 2)) c = '?'; } return c; } note: 1) The 'bit' parameter always is passed as LOCK_USED_IN_##STATE or LOCK_USED_IN_##STATE_READ , from get_usage_chars().

2006-10-11[PATCH] fix lockdep-design.txtAneesh Kumar
I was looking at lockdep-desing.txt and i guess i am confused with the changes with respect to fd7bcea35e7efb108c34ee2b3840942a3749cadb. It says + '.' acquired while irqs enabled + '+' acquired in irq context + '-' acquired in process context with irqs disabled + '?' read-acquired both with irqs enabled and in irq context + But the get_usage_chars() function does this for '-' if (class->usage_mask & LOCKF_ENABLED_HARDIRQS) *c1 = '-'; So i guess what would be correct would be '.' acquired while irqs disabled '+' acquired in irq context '-' acquired with irqs enabled '?' read acquired in irq context with irqs enabled.
