In the following scenario, thread #1 should back off its attempt to lock ww1 and unlock ww2 (assuming the acquire context stamps are ordered accordingly). Thread #0 Thread #1 --------- --------- successfully lock ww2 set ww1->base.owner attempt to lock ww1 confirm ww1->ctx == NULL enter mutex_spin_on_owner set ww1->ctx What was likely to happen previously is: attempt to lock ww2 refuse to spin because ww2->ctx != NULL schedule() detect thread #0 is off CPU stop optimistic spin return -EDEADLK unlock ww2 wakeup thread #0 lock ww2 Now, we are more likely to see: detect ww1->ctx != NULL stop optimistic spin return -EDEADLK unlock ww2 successfully lock ww2 ... because thread #1 will stop its optimistic spin as soon as possible. The whole scenario is quite unlikely, since it requires thread #1 to get between thread #0 setting the owner and setting the ctx. But since we're idling here anyway, the additional check is basically free. Found by inspection.
