Hi,

I just came across this commit while researching something else. Original patch had too few context lines, so I here's the diff with `-U10`.

Since commit 21aa27ddc582 ("drm/shmem-helper: Switch to reservation
lock"), the drm_gem_shmem_vmap and drm_gem_shmem_vunmap functions
require that the caller holds the DMA reservation lock for the object.
Add lockdep assertions to help validate this.

There were already lockdep assertions...

Or were those insufficient for some reason? If so, should we keep both of them, or should the older ones have been removed?
