[PATCH 3/3] lockdep: Remove unnecessary acquisitions wrt workqueue flush

From: Byungchul Park
Date: Mon Sep 04 2017 - 22:29:34 EST


Workqueue added manual acquisitions to catch deadlock cases. Now
crossrelease was introduced, some of those are redundant because
crossrelease-enabled wait_for_completeion() also does it. Removed it.

Also, lock_map_acquire() in process_one_work() is too strong for
that purpose. lock_map_acquire_might() is enough. Replaced it.
