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.
