[PATCH 6/6] locking/rtmutex: Add a lockdep assert to catch potential nested blocking

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Tue Aug 15 2023 - 07:18:07 EST


From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

There used to be a BUG_ON(current->pi_blocked_on) in the lock acquisition
functions, but that vanished in one of the rtmutex overhauls.

Bring it back in form of a lockdep assert to catch code paths which take
rtmutex based locks with current::pi_blocked_on != NULL.
