Currently, print_lock() is printing hlock->acquire_ip field in both "[<%px>]" and "%pS" format. But "[<%px>]" is little useful nowadays, for we use scripts/faddr2line which receives "%pS" for finding the location in the source code. Since "struct lockdep_map" is embedded into lock objects, we can know which instance of a lock object is acquired using hlock->instance field. This will help finding which threads are causing a lock contention when e.g. the OOM reaper failed to acquire an OOM victim's mmap_sem for read. Thus, this patch replaces "[<%px>]" for printing hlock->acquire_ip field with "[%px]" for printing hlock->instance field. ---------------------------------------- [ 561.490202] Out of memory: Kill process 58945 (anacron) score 0 or sacrifice child [ 561.494119] Killed process 58945 (anacron) total-vm:123220kB, anon-rss:232kB, file-rss:4kB, shmem-rss:0kB (...snipped...)
