Subject: [PATCH v2] lockdep: restrict the use of recursive read_lock with qrwlock
Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2014 13:40:27 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1403286027-34328-1-git-send-email-Waiman.Long@hp.com> (raw)

v1->v2:
 - Use less conditional & make it easier to read

Unlike the original unfair rwlock implementation, queued rwlock
will grant lock according to the chronological sequence of the lock
requests except when the lock requester is in the interrupt context.
As a result, recursive read_lock calls will hang the process if there
is a write_lock call somewhere in between the read_lock calls.

This patch updates the lockdep implementation to look for recursive
read_lock calls when queued rwlock is being used.
