mutex: Fix annotations to include it in kernel-locking docbook

2010-09-03T06:19:51Z

Fix kernel-doc notation in linux/mutex.h and kernel/mutex.c, then add these 2 files to the kernel-locking docbook as the Mutex API reference chapter. Add one API function to mutex-design.txt and correct a typo in that file.

Documentation: kernel-locking: mutex_trylock cannot be used in interrupt context

2010-08-20T16:34:56Z

Chapter 6 is right about mutex_trylock, but chapter 10 wasn't. This error was introduced during semaphore-to-mutex conversion of the Unreliable guide. :-) If user context which performs mutex_lock() or mutex_trylock() is preempted by interrupt context which performs mutex_trylock() on the same mutex instance, a deadlock occurs. This is because these functions do not disable local IRQs when they operate on mutex->wait_lock.
