Subject: [PATCH v2] maple_tree: Add lockdep assertion in mas_dup_alloc()
Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2026 22:07:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260106210757.465586-1-boudewijn@delta-utec.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260103165758.74094-1-boudewijn@delta-utec.com>
The __mt_dup() function requires callers to hold the appropriate write
lock when duplicating a maple tree. Without proper locking, concurrent
modifications during duplication could access invalid node slots.
Add a lockdep assertion to catch such API misuse during development.
This is API hardening rather than a bug fix - all in-tree callers
already follow the proper locking rules as documented above __mt_dup().

Changes in v2:
- Replaced runtime deadnode check with a lockdep assertion
