Yeah it's the lock; trylock; lock combo that deadlocks. If lockdep indeed
catches that one (and not some other recursion combo) then I think we
don't have to worry about holding tons of trylock'ed locks.

Out of curiosity, why do you need to know that?

Hm, I thought it didn't detect a lock; trylock; lock combo because the
trylock didn't show up in the dependency stack. Maybe that got fixed
meanwhile.
Assuming that we indeed need both, could we split up the two use-cases for
clarity? I.e. ww_mutex_is_owned_by_ctx, which only takes the ctx (and
forgoes checking for a task, since that's implied) and requires a non-NULL
ctx. And ww_mutex_is_owned_by_task, which only takes the task (and maybe
we should limit it to trylock and _single locks, i.e. WARN_ON(lock->ctx)
if ww-mutex debugging is enabled).
Or does that hit another requirement of your use-case?
