[PATCH 2/6] locking/lockdep: lockdep_set_no_check_recursion()

From: Kent Overstreet
Date: Wed Nov 22 2023 - 18:51:34 EST


This adds a method to tell lockdep not to check lock ordering within a
lock class - but to still check lock ordering w.r.t. other lock types.

This is for bcachefs, where for btree node locks we have our own
deadlock avoidance strategy w.r.t. other btree node locks (cycle
detection), but we still want lockdep to check lock ordering w.r.t.
other lock types.
