Subject: [PATCH] make lockdep happy with r/o bind mounts
Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2007 10:46:58 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070924174658.2B3D54B8@kernel> (raw)


With the r/o bind mount patches, we can have as many
spinlocks nested as there are CPUs on the system.
Lockdep freaks out after 8.

So, create a new lockdep class of locks for the
mnt_writer spinlocks, and initialize each of the
cpu locks to be in a different class.

It should shut up warnings like this, while still
allowing some of the lockdep goodness to remain:

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.23-rc6 #6
---------------------------------------------
swapper/1 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&writer->lock){--..}, at: [<c016c094>] lock_and_coalesce_cpu_mnt_writer_counts+0x29/0x5c

but task is already holding lock:
 (&writer->lock){--..}, at: [<c016c094>] lock_and_coalesce_cpu_mnt_writer_counts+0x29/0x5c

other info that might help us debug this:
1 lock held by swapper/1:
 #0:  (&writer->lock){--..}, at: [<c016c094>] lock_and_coalesce_cpu_mnt_writer_counts+0x29/0x5c
