McKenney <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> CommitDate: Thu, 19 Oct 2017 12:13:36 -0700 rcu: Suppress lockdep false-positive ->boost_mtx complaints RCU priority boosting uses rt_mutex_init_proxy_locked() to initialize an rt_mutex structure in locked state held by some other task. When that other task releases it, lockdep complains (quite accurately, but a bit uselessly) that the other task never acquired it. This complaint can suppress other, more helpful, lockdep complaints, and in any case it is a false positive. This commit therefore switches from rt_mutex_unlock() to rt_mutex_futex_unlock(), thereby avoiding the lockdep annotations. Of course, if lockdep ever learns about rt_mutex_init_proxy_locked(), addtional adjustments will be required. Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
