[PATCH 1/4] lockdep: lock_set_subclass() fix

From: Yong Zhang
Date: Fri Nov 04 2011 - 05:27:54 EST


Since commit f59de89 [lockdep: Clear whole lockdep_map on initialization],
lockdep_init_map() will clear all the struct. But it will break
lock_set_class()/lock_set_subclass(). A typical race condition
is like below:

CPU A CPU B
lock_set_subclass(lockA);
lock_set_class(lockA);
lockdep_init_map(lockA);
/* lockA->name is cleared */
memset(lockA);
__lock_acquire(lockA);
/* lockA->class_cache[] is cleared */
register_lock_class(lockA);
look_up_lock_class(lockA);
WARN_ON_ONCE(class->name !=
lock->name);

lock->name = name;
