'dentry_d_lock_class' can be used for spin_lock_nested in case lockdep confused about two different dentry take the 'd_lock'. However, a single 'DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED' may not be enough if more than two dentry are involed. So, and in 'DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED_2' Signed-off-by: yu kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx> --- include/linux/dcache.h | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/include/linux/dcache.h b/include/linux/dcache.h index 10090f1..8eb84ef 100644 --- a/include/linux/dcache.h +++ b/include/linux/dcache.h @@ -129,7 +129,8 @@ struct dentry { enum dentry_d_lock_class { DENTRY_D_LOCK_NORMAL, /* implicitly used by plain spin_lock() APIs. */ - DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED + DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED, + DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED_2 }; struct dentry_operations { -- 2.7.4
