Ah, now I know what you mean. And NO, that approach doesn't work.
See for the correct ww_mutex dance we need to use the iterator multiple
times.
Once to give us the BOs which needs to be locked and another time to
give us the BOs which needs to be unlocked in case of a contention.
That won't work with the approach you suggest here.

Christian.
Also I think if we allow this we could perhaps use this to implement the
modeset macros too.

This is kinda what we went with for modeset locks with
DRM_MODESET_LOCK_ALL_BEGIN/END, you can grab more locks in between the
pair at least. But it's a lot more limited use-cases, maybe too fragile an
idea for ww_mutex in full generality.
Not going to type this out because too much w/e mode here already, but I
can give it a stab next week.
