Hi,
I'm trying to add sparse locking annotations for console_sem.
However, I don't know how to handle try_acquire_console_sem().
Without handling it, I get e.g.:
| drivers/video/ps3fb.c:533:24: warning: context problem in 'ps3fb_release': 'release_console_sem' expected different context
| drivers/video/ps3fb.c:533:24: context 'console_sem': wanted >= 1, got 0
I tried handling it using __cond_lock() --- as is used for e.g. spin_trylock()
--- but it didn't work. Besides, with spin_trylock(), I also get:
| drivers/char/vt.c:2524:2: warning: context problem in 'vt_console_print': '_spin_unlock' expected different context
| drivers/char/vt.c:2524:2: context 'lock': wanted >= 1, got 0
so it looks like it won't work anyway?
Anyone with a clue? Thanks!
