Pull locking updates from Ingo Molar:
 "Lock guards:

   - Use lock guards in the ptrace code

   - Introduce conditional guards to extend to conditional lock
     primitives like mutex_trylock()/mutex_lock_interruptible()/etc.

  lockdep:

   - Optimize 'struct lock_class' to be smaller

   - Update file patterns in MAINTAINERS

  mutexes:

   - Document mutex lifetime rules a bit more"

* tag 'locking-core-2024-01-08' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  locking/mutex: Clarify that mutex_unlock(), and most other sleeping locks, can still use the lock object after it's unlocked
  locking/mutex: Document that mutex_unlock() is non-atomic
  ptrace: Convert ptrace_attach() to use lock guards
  locking/lockdep: Slightly reorder 'struct lock_class' to save some memory
  MAINTAINERS: Add include/linux/lockdep*.h
  cleanup: Add conditional guard support

     - Detects multi-task circular deadlocks and prints out all affected
       locks and tasks (and only those tasks).
 
+Mutexes - and most other sleeping locks like rwsems - do not provide an
+implicit reference for the memory they occupy, which reference is released
+with mutex_unlock().
+
+[ This is in contrast with spin_unlock() [or completion_done()], which
+  APIs can be used to guarantee that the memory is not touched by the
+  lock implementation after spin_unlock()/completion_done() releases
+  the lock. ]
+
+mutex_unlock() may access the mutex structure even after it has internally
+released the lock already - so it's not safe for another context to
+acquire the mutex and assume that the mutex_unlock() context is not using
+the structure anymore.
+
+The mutex user must ensure that the mutex is not destroyed while a
+release operation is still in progress - in other words, callers of
+mutex_unlock() must ensure that the mutex stays alive until mutex_unlock()
+has returned.
