Chapter 6 is right about mutex_trylock, but chapter 10 wasn't. This error was introduced during semaphore-to-mutex conversion of the Unreliable guide. :-) If user context which performs mutex_lock() or mutex_trylock() is preempted by interrupt context which performs mutex_trylock() on the same mutex instance, a deadlock occurs. This is because these functions do not disable local IRQs when they operate on mutex->wait_lock.
