[libvirt] [PATCH] util: ensure virMutexInit is not recursive

POSIX states that creation of a mutex with default attributes is unspecified whether the mutex is recursive or non-recursive. We specifically want non-recursive (deadlock is desirable in flushing out coding bugs that used our mutex incorrectly). * src/util/threads-pthread.c (virMutexInit): Specifically request non-recursive mutex, rather than relying on unspecified default. --- src/util/threads-pthread.c | 7 +++++-- 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/util/threads-pthread.c b/src/util/threads-pthread.c index ad42483..2f0746b 100644 --- a/src/util/threads-pthread.c +++ b/src/util/threads-pthread.c @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ /* * threads-pthread.c: basic thread synchronization primitives * - * Copyright (C) 2009 Red Hat, Inc. + * Copyright (C) 2009-2010 Red Hat, Inc. * * This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or * modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public @@ -36,7 +36,10 @@ void virThreadOnExit(void) int virMutexInit(virMutexPtr m) { int ret; - if ((ret = pthread_mutex_init(&m->lock, NULL)) != 0) { + pthread_mutexattr_t attr; + pthread_mutexattr_init(&attr); + pthread_mutexattr_settype(&attr, PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL); + if ((ret = pthread_mutex_init(&m->lock, &attr)) != 0) { errno = ret; return -1; } -- 1.6.6.1
