The following commit has been merged into the locking/core branch of tip: Commit-ID: bd76eca10de2eb9998d5125b08e8997cbf5508d5 Gitweb: https://git.kernel.org/tip/bd76eca10de2eb9998d5125b08e8997cbf5508d5 Author: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@xxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Fri, 07 Aug 2020 15:42:24 +08:00 Committer: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> CommitterDate: Wed, 26 Aug 2020 12:42:04 +02:00 lockdep: Reduce the size of lock_list::distance lock_list::distance is always not greater than MAX_LOCK_DEPTH (which is 48 right now), so a u16 will fit. This patch reduces the size of lock_list::distance to save space, so that we can introduce other fields to help detect recursive read lock deadlocks without increasing the size of lock_list structure.
