Hi, Srivatsa

This is false negative, the two "wfc"s are different, they are
both on stack. flush_work() can't be deadlock in such case:

void foo(void *)
{
	...
	if (xxx)
		work_on_cpu(..., foo, ...);
	...
}

bar()
{
	work_on_cpu(..., foo, ...);
}

The complaint is caused by "work_on_cpu() uses a static lock_class_key".
we should fix work_on_cpu().
(but the caller should also be careful, the foo()/local_pci_probe() is re-entering)

But I can't find an elegant fix.

long work_on_cpu(int cpu, long (*fn)(void *), void *arg)
{
	struct work_for_cpu wfc = { .fn = fn, .arg = arg };

+#ifdef CONFIG_LOCKDEP
+	static struct lock_class_key __key;
+	INIT_WORK_ONSTACK(&wfc.work, work_for_cpu_fn);
+	lockdep_init_map(&wfc.work.lockdep_map, &wfc.work, &__key, 0);
+#else
	INIT_WORK_ONSTACK(&wfc.work, work_for_cpu_fn);
+#endif
	schedule_work_on(cpu, &wfc.work);
	flush_work(&wfc.work);
	return wfc.ret;
}


Any think? Tejun?

thanks,
Lai
