[PATCH v4 0/1] lockdep: add support for queued rwlock

From: Waiman Long
Date: Mon Jun 23 2014 - 14:25:23 EST


v3->v4:
- Document the new read state and move the conditional compilation code
to lockdep.h.

v2->v3:
- Add a new read mode (3) for rwlock (used in
lock_acquire_shared_cond_recursive()) to avoid conflict with other
use cases of lock_acquire_shared_recursive().

v1->v2:
- Use less conditional & make it easier to read

With the merging of qrwlock into 3.16, it was found that the btrfs
filesystem hanged readily. A fix was devised and merged into rc2 and
the use of recursive read_lock call was part of the problem.

This patch addes code to the lockdep subsystem to catch this kind of
recursive read_lock calls in kernel code.

Waiman Long (1):
lockdep: restrict the use of recursive read_lock with qrwlock
