Comment(by aditya.sinha@…):

 WE are interprocess shared memory for caching data across restart.
 Recently while testing it is found that thread are hanged while acquiring
 process shared mutex which is member named m_header in
 boost::interprocess::segment_manager. I think when process was restarted
 the m_header recursive mutex was in locked state, so when process
 restarted it finds the mutex in locked state.
 I need a mechanism to detect sanity of such locks to detect whether mutex
 is in stale state.
