K 10 svn:author V 7 davidxu K 8 svn:date V 27 2012-03-18T00:22:29.529073Z K 7 svn:log V 466 Some software think a mutex can be destroyed after it owned it, for example, it uses a serialization point like following: pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex); pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex); pthread_mutex_destroy(&muetx); They think a previous lock holder should have already left the mutex and is no longer referencing it, so they destroy it. To be maximum compatible with such code, we use IA64 version to unlock the mutex in kernel, remove the two steps unlocking code. END
