Subject: Confusing lockdep message
Date: Mon, 20 May 2019 11:19:20 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <386d7978-18fd-318e-ddc9-784266b75d9e@amd.com> (raw)

Hi guys,

writing the usual suspects about locking/lockdep stuff and also Daniel 
in CC because he might have stumbled over this as well.

It took me a while to figuring out what the heck lockdep was complaining 
about. The relevant dmesg was the following:
> [  145.623005] ==================================
> [  145.623094] WARNING: Nested lock was not taken

The problem is now that the message is very confusion because the issue 
was *not* that I tried to acquire a lock, but rather that I accidentally 
released a lock twice.

Now releasing a lock twice is a rather common mistake and I'm really 
surprised that I didn't get that pointed out by lockdep immediately.

Additional to that I'm pretty sure that this used to work correctly 
sometimes in the past, so I'm either hitting a rare corner case or this 
broke just recently.

Anyway can somebody take a look? I can try to provide a test case if 
required.

Thanks in advance,
Christian.
