I could understand that Michal is against hack in -mm code that
would just hide a false positive warning.

Well, I don’t have any confidence to say everything this patch is trying to fix is false positives. I have been spent the last a few months to research this, so I don’t feel like to do this again.



If you really need a solution before the console offload gets
upstream then I suggest to do something really simple. For example,
disable lockdep around the allocation in console registration code
that is proven to produce the false positive chain.
