[PATCH] kernel/locking: Add context to ww_mutex_trylock.

From: Maarten Lankhorst
Date: Tue Sep 07 2021 - 09:27:38 EST


i915 will soon gain an eviction path that trylock a whole lot of locks
for eviction, getting dmesg failures like below:

BUG: MAX_LOCK_DEPTH too low!
turning off the locking correctness validator.
depth: 48 max: 48!
48 locks held by i915_selftest/5776:

INFO: lockdep is turned off.

Fixing eviction to nest into ww_class_acquire is a high priority,
but it requires a rework of the entire driver, which can only be
done one step at a time.

As an intermediate solution, add an acquire context to ww_mutex_trylock,
which allows us to do proper nesting annotations on the trylocks, making
the above lockdep splat disappear.

This is also useful in regulator_lock_nested, which may avoid dropping
regulator_nesting_mutex in the uncontended path, so use it there.
