Subject: [PATCH] block: fix lockdep warning on io_context release put_io_context()
Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 15:00:11 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120207230011.GJ21292@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4F30C96F.1000905@kernel.dk>

11a3122f6c "block: strip out locking optimization in put_io_context()"
removed ioc_lock depth lockdep annoation along with locking
optimization; however, while recursing from put_io_context() is no
longer possible, ioc_release_fn() may still end up putting the last
reference of another ioc through elevator, which wlil grab ioc->lock
triggering spurious (as the ioc is always different one) A-A deadlock
warning.

As this can only happen one time from ioc_release_fn(), using non-zero
subclass from ioc_release_fn() is enough.  Use subclass 1.

Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Jens, this one should go with the previous patch to avoid triggering
spurious lockdep warning.

Thanks.
