[PATCH v5 06/19] locking/mutex: Add task_struct::blocked_lock to serialize changes to the blocked_on state

From: John Stultz
Date: Sat Aug 19 2023 - 02:10:44 EST


From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch was split out from the later "sched: Add proxy
execution" patch.

Adds blocked_lock to the task_struct so we can safely keep track
of which tasks are blocked on us.

This will be used for tracking blocked-task/mutex chains with
the prox-execution patch in a similar fashion to how priority
inheritence is done with rt_mutexes.

* Split out into its own patch
v4:
* Remove verbose comments/questions to avoid review
distractions, as suggested by Dietmar
* Fixed nested block_on locking for ww_mutex access
