[PATCH 2/2] lglock: update lockdep annotations to report recursive local locks

From: Michel Lespinasse
Date: Mon Mar 04 2013 - 21:17:49 EST


Oleg Nesterov recently noticed that the lockdep annotations in lglock.c
are not sufficient to detect some obvious deadlocks, such as
lg_local_lock(LOCK) + lg_local_lock(LOCK) or
spin_lock(X) + lg_local_lock(Y) vs lg_local_lock(Y) + spin_lock(X).

Both issues are easily fixed by indicating to lockdep that lglock's local
locks are not recursive. We shouldn't use the rwlock acquire/release
functions here, as lglock doesn't share the same semantics. Instead
we can base our lockdep annotations on the lock_acquire_shared
(for local lglock) and lock_acquire_exclusive (for global lglock)
helpers.

I am not proposing new lglock specific helpers as I don't see the point
of the existing second level of helpers :)
