These are wastly different locks with different locking constraints. So to avoid false positives in filesystems we will need to add annotations to differentiate locks on different buffers (based on what the block is used for). Similarly how we e.g. annotate i_rwsem for different inodes. Honza -- Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxxx> SUSE Labs, CR
