As a bit spinlock, we had no lockdep visibility into the usage of the list head locking. Now, as a separate lock, we see: [ 3.613354] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/rtmutex.c:658 [ 3.613356] in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 122, name: udevd [ 3.613357] 5 locks held by udevd/122: [ 3.613358] #0: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#7/1){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff811967e8>] lock_rename+0xe8/0xf0 [ 3.613363] #1: (rename_lock){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff811a277c>] d_move+0x2c/0x60 [ 3.613367] #2: (&dentry->d_lock){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff811a0763>] dentry_lock_for_move+0xf3/0x130 [ 3.613370] #3: (&dentry->d_lock/2){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff811a0734>] dentry_lock_for_move+0xc4/0x130 [ 3.613373] #4: (&dentry->d_lock/3){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff811a0747>] dentry_lock_for_move+0xd7/0x130 [ 3.613377] Pid: 122, comm: udevd Not tainted 3.4.47-rt62-00002-gfedcea8 #7 [ 3.613378] Call Trace: [ 3.613382] [<ffffffff810b9624>] __might_sleep+0x134/0x1f0 [ 3.613385] [<ffffffff817a24d4>] rt_spin_lock+0x24/0x60 [ 3.613387] [<ffffffff811a0c4c>] __d_shrink+0x5c/0xa0 [ 3.613389] [<ffffffff811a1b2d>] __d_drop+0x1d/0x40 [ 3.613391] [<ffffffff811a24be>] __d_move+0x8e/0x320 [ 3.613393] [<ffffffff811a278e>] d_move+0x3e/0x60 [ 3.613394] [<ffffffff81199598>] vfs_rename+0x198/0x4c0 [ 3.613396] [<ffffffff8119b093>] sys_renameat+0x213/0x240 [ 3.613398] [<ffffffff817a2de5>] ? _raw_spin_unlock+0x35/0x60 [ 3.613401] [<ffffffff8107781c>] ? do_page_fault+0x1ec/0x4b0 [ 3.613403] [<ffffffff817a32ca>] ? retint_swapgs+0xe/0x13 [ 3.613406] [<ffffffff813eb0e6>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_thunk+0x3a/0x3f [ 3.613408] [<ffffffff8119b0db>] sys_rename+0x1b/0x20 [ 3.613410] [<ffffffff817a3b96>] system_call_fastpath+0x1a/0x1f For now, lets assume that the list head lock isn't held for big stretches, and hence it being raw won't be a significant latency concern.
