From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The epoll code currently uses the unlocked waitqueue helpers for managing fault_wqh, but instead of holding the waitqueue lock for this waitqueue around these calls, it the waitqueue lock of fault_pending_wq, which is a different waitqueue instance. Given that the waitqueue is not exposed to the rest of the kernel this actually works ok at the moment, but prevents the epoll locking rules from being enforced using lockdep. Switch to the internally locked waitqueue helpers instead. This means that the lock inside fault_wqh now nests inside the fault_pending_wqh lock, but that's not a problem since it was entireyl unused before.
