await_holding_lock reports explicitly dropped mutex guards as if they weren't dropped #6446

Description

I tried this code:

#[deny(clippy::pedantic)] pub async fn doesnt_work() { use std::collections::HashSet; use std::sync::Mutex; use std::time::Duration; let lock: Mutex<HashSet<u8>> = Mutex::new(HashSet::new()); let mut set = lock.lock().unwrap(); set.insert(0); drop(set); tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1)).await; }

I expected to see this happen: it should pass Clippy with no linting errors because the MutexGuard is explicitly dropped before the await point with a call to std::mem::drop.

Instead, this happened: Clippy failed the lint check because of a violation of clippy::await_holding_lock:

$ cargo clippy ... error: this MutexGuard is held across an 'await' point. Consider using an async-aware Mutex type or ensuring the MutexGuard is dropped before calling await. --> src/lib.rs:8:9 | 8 | let mut set = lock.lock().unwrap(); | ^^^^^^^ | note: the lint level is defined here --> src/lib.rs:1:8 | 1 | #[deny(clippy::pedantic)] | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ = note: `#[deny(clippy::await_holding_lock)]` implied by `#[deny(clippy::pedantic)]` note: these are all the await points this lock is held through --> src/lib.rs:8:5 | 8 | / let mut set = lock.lock().unwrap(); 9 | | set.insert(0); 10 | | drop(set); 11 | | tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1)).await; 12 | | } | |_^ = help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#await_holding_lock error: aborting due to previous error 

Running with --verbose does not provide any additional information.

Additionally, of note, the following code does pass Clippy:

#[deny(clippy::pedantic)] pub async fn does_work() { use std::collections::HashSet; use std::sync::Mutex; use std::time::Duration; let lock: Mutex<HashSet<u8>> = Mutex::new(HashSet::new()); { let mut set = lock.lock().unwrap(); set.insert(0); } tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1)).await; }
