So you are trading one syzbot triggered issue for another one in the future? :) If this ever can happen, handle it, but don't log it with a WARN_ON() as that will trigger the panic-on-warn boxes, as well as syzbot. Unless you want that to happen? And what happens if the mutex is locked _RIGHT_ after you checked it? You still have a race... thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
