MUTEX_ALREADY_OWNED

The MUTEX_ALREADY_OWNED bug check has a value of 0x000000BF. This indicates that a thread attempted to acquire ownership of a mutex it already owned.

MUTEX_ALREADY_OWNED Parameters

Parameter Description

1

The address of the mutex

2

The thread that caused the error

3

0

4

Reserved

Diagnostic focus

Parameter 1 identifies the mutex and parameter 2 the offending thread. Inspect that thread acquisition path and recursion assumptions. Kernel mutex ownership is not recursively reacquired this way; a repeated lock attempt often exposes an incorrect control-flow path, a missing release, or confusion with a recursive synchronization primitive.
