Looks pretty clear to me that userfaultfd is also abusing the wake_up_locked
interfaces:
spin_lock(&ctx->fault_pending_wqh.lock);
__wake_up_locked_key(&ctx->fault_pending_wqh, TASK_NORMAL, &range);
__wake_up_locked_key(&ctx->fault_wqh, TASK_NORMAL, &range);
spin_unlock(&ctx->fault_pending_wqh.lock);
Sure, it's locked, but not by the lock you thought it was going to be.
There doesn't actually appear to be a bug here; fault_wqh is always serialised
by fault_pending_wqh.lock, but lockdep can't know that. I think this patch
will solve the problem.
