Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu] Silence lockdep false positive for expedited grace periods
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2015 08:31:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150810153140.GA11719@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

In a CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernel, synchronize_rcu_expedited()
acquires the ->exp_funnel_mutex in rcu_preempt_state, then invokes
synchronize_sched_expedited, which acquires the ->exp_funnel_mutex in
rcu_sched_state.  There can be no deadlock because rcu_preempt_state
->exp_funnel_mutex acquisition always precedes that of rcu_sched_state.
But lockdep does not know that, so it gives false-positive splats.

This commit therefore associates a separate lock_class_key structure
with the rcu_sched_state structure's ->exp_funnel_mutex, allowing
lockdep to see the lock ordering, avoiding the false positives.

Later changes break the dependency between synchronize_rcu_expedited()
and synchronize_sched_expedited(), after which this commit will be
reverted.  However, those later changes are not ready for mainline,
hence this commit.
