[PATCH 2/3] hrtimers: simplify lockdep stuff

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Fri Feb 15 2008 - 12:59:53 EST


In order to avoid the false positive from lockdep, each per-cpu base->lock has
the separate lock class and migrate_hrtimers() uses double_spin_lock().

This is overcomplicated: except for migrate_hrtimers() we never take 2 locks at
once, and migrate_hrtimers() can use spin_lock_nested().
