For completeness of the email tread; it turns out we want 0 as the last
parameter.

(include/linux/lockdep.h)
/*
 * Acquire a lock.
 *
 * Values for "read":
 *
 *   0: exclusive (write) acquire
 *   1: read-acquire (no recursion allowed)
 *   2: read-acquire with same-instance recursion allowed
 *
 * Values for check:
 *
 *   0: simple checks (freeing, held-at-exit-time, etc.)
 *   1: full validation
 */

...

/*
 * Same "read" as for lock_acquire(), except -1 means any.
 */
extern int lock_is_held_type(const struct lockdep_map *lock, int read);

Here are two patches to increase the strictness of the maple tree
locking.  I've boot tested them on x86_64 with the bots config and
ensured the lockdep problem was resolved.

The first introduces the new mt_write_locked() function, which ensures
the lock type is for writing.

The second updates the munmap path to avoid triggering the warnings
associated with dropping the mmap_lock prior to freeing the VMAs.

Thanks,
Liam

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] maple_tree: Be more strict about locking

Use lockdep to check the write path in the maple tree holds the lock in
write mode.

Introduce mt_write_lock_is_held() to check if the lock is held for
writing.  Update the necessary checks for rcu_dereference_protected() to
use the new write lock check.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm/mmap: Change detached vma locking scheme

Don't set the lock to the mm lock so that the detached VMA tree does not
complain about being unlocked when the mmap_lock is dropped prior to
freeing the tree.
