Subject: [PATCH] e1000e: Add process name to WARN message when detecting Mutex contention

From: Jeff Kirsher <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 08 Jan 2009 18:03:29 -0800

From: David Graham <[email-masked]>

Adds process name of the current mutex holder to the WARN message output
when the e1000e driver attempts to acquire the nvm_mutex and finds that
it is already being held. With this patch the WARN message indicates
both the process name of the current mutex holder and the process name of
the attempted acquisition, which together will help to identify the
contending codepaths.
