[PATCH 8/8] locking/lockdep: Consider zapped locks when printing lock chains in /proc

From: Yuyang Du
Date: Tue Feb 26 2019 - 05:04:03 EST


It is not rare to spot empty lock chains in /proc/lockdep_chains, where only
shows irq_context but not the locks, which is useless and makes people
confused.

This happens because the chained lock classes are freeed, so consider this
when printing the lock chains.
