[PATCH 4/4] Export __lockdep_no_validate__

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hack, but bcache needs a way around lockdep for locking during garbage
collection - we need to keep multiple btree nodes locked for coalescing
and rw_lock_nested() isn't really sufficient or appropriate here.
