possible lwp_lock() issue



Hi,
I got several panics of this type on a amd64 XEN3_DOM0, with a HVM guest
running (so lots of context switches. The kernel is built with DEBUG+DIAGNOSTIC
(but not LOCKDEBUG). I got this panic several times:
Mutex error: mutex_vector_exit: exiting unheld spin mutex

lock address : 0xffffa0002bca6f48
current cpu  :                  0

First, I think ddb miss a function call which got optimised here,
and mutex_vector_exit() was really called from sleepq_timeout:
the assembly around callout_softclock+0x1ef is:
0xffffffff8040b094 <callout_softclock+484>:     callq  0xffffffff804babd0 
<mutex_spin_exit>
0xffffffff8040b099 <callout_softclock+489>:     mov    %r14,%rdi
0xffffffff8040b09c <callout_softclock+492>:     callq  *%r15
0xffffffff8040b09f <callout_softclock+495>:     mov    %r13,%rdi
0xffffffff8040b0a2 <callout_softclock+498>:     callq  0xffffffff804bab80 
<mutex_spin_enter>

%r15 points to sleepq_timeout, and I think it has not been clobbered when ddb
is called (I disasembled the sleepq_timeout->mutex_vector_exit to make sure).

I guess in sleepq_timeout() we're ending in the (l->l_wchan == NULL) case.

Now the question:
in lwp_lock(), we call lwp_lock_retry() if l->l_mutex got changed while tacking
the lock. But we do it only if LOCKDEBUG || MULTIPROCESSOR, we do a simple
mutex_spin_enter() otherwise (i.e. in a XEN3_DOM0 kernel). Are we sure
l->l_mutex can't be changed in this case ? The panic I'm getting seems to
prove it can be changed ...
