No, It did.

S: object->lock ( _raw_spin_lock_irqsave)
W: other_object->lock (_raw_spin_lock_nested)

DEPT reported this as AA deadlock.

I understand why you said this is risky.
Its lock ordering is not good.

But I want to say kmemleak is getting things under control. No two contexts
can run at same time.

Then why DEPT reports 1) and 2) as deadlock?
Does DEPT assign same class unlike Lockdep?

I don't get what the point is. I agree it's not a good lock ordering.
But in kmemleak case, I think kmemleak is getting things under control.
