Subject: [patch] lockdep: fix static keys in module-allocated percpu areas
Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2006 19:57:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061117185720.GA14689@elte.hu> (raw)

Subject: [patch] lockdep: fix static keys in module-allocated percpu areas
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

lockdep got confused by certain locks in modules:

 INFO: trying to register non-static key.
 the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.
 turning off the locking correctness validator.

 Call Trace:

  [...]

Steven Rostedt found the bug: static_obj() check did not take
PERCPU_ENOUGH_ROOM into account, so in-module DEFINE_PER_CPU-area locks 
were triggering this message.
