[PATCH 2/2] lockdep/selftest: Add spin_nest_lock test

From: Boqun Feng
Date: Mon Nov 02 2020 - 00:38:14 EST


Add a self test case to test the behavior for the following case:

lock(A);
lock_nest_lock(C1, A);
lock(B);
lock_nest_lock(C2, A);

This is a reproducer for a problem[1] reported by Chris Wilson, and is
helpful to prevent this.
