rtmutex: Document rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Parameters and usage of rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain() are already
documented in Documentation/rt-mutex-design.txt. However, since this
function is called from several paths with different semantics (related
to the arguments), it is handy to have a quick reference directly in
the code.

* Adjust the priority chain. Also used for deadlock detection.
* Decreases task's usage by one - may thus free the task.
*
* @task: the task owning the mutex (owner) for which a chain walk is probably
* needed
* @deadlock_detect: do we have to carry out deadlock detection?
* @orig_lock: the mutex (can be NULL if we are walking the chain to recheck
* things for a task that has just got its priority adjusted, and
* is waiting on a mutex)
* @orig_waiter: rt_mutex_waiter struct for the task that has just donated
* its priority to the mutex owner (can be NULL in the case
* depicted above or if the top waiter is gone away and we are
* actually deboosting the owner)
* @top_task: the current top waiter
*
* Returns 0 or -EDEADLK.
