I ended up with:

static void __sched __ww_mutex_check_waiters(struct mutex *lock, struct ww_acquire_ctx *ww_ctx) { bool is_wait_die = ww_ctx->ww_class->is_wait_die; struct mutex_waiter *cur;

lockdep_assert_held(&lock->wait_lock);

list_for_each_entry(cur, &lock->wait_list, list) { if (!cur->ww_ctx) continue;

if (is_wait_die) { /* * Because __ww_mutex_add_waiter() and * __ww_mutex_check_stamp() wake any but the earliest * context, this can only affect the first waiter (with * a context). */ if (cur->ww_ctx->acquired > 0 && __ww_ctx_stamp_after(cur->ww_ctx, ww_ctx)) { debug_mutex_wake_waiter(lock, cur); wake_up_process(cur->task); }

break; }

if (__ww_mutex_wound(lock, cur->ww_ctx, ww_ctx)) break; } }

Currently you don't allow mixing WD and WW contexts (which is not immediately obvious from the above code), and the above hard relies on that. Are there sensible use cases for mixing them? IOW will your current restriction stand without hassle?
