The following commit has been merged into the locking/core branch of tip: Commit-ID: 51711e825a6d1b2fe7ca46bb06d08c25d97656ee Gitweb: https://git.kernel.org/tip/51711e825a6d1b2fe7ca46bb06d08c25d97656ee Author: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Sun, 15 Aug 2021 23:29:20 +02:00 Committer: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitterDate: Tue, 17 Aug 2021 19:06:02 +02:00 locking/rtmutex: Prevent lockdep false positive with PI futexes On PREEMPT_RT the futex hashbucket spinlock becomes 'sleeping' and rtmutex based. That causes a lockdep false positive because some of the futex functions invoke spin_unlock(&hb->lock) with the wait_lock of the rtmutex associated to the pi_futex held. spin_unlock() in turn takes wait_lock of the rtmutex on which the spinlock is based which makes lockdep notice a lock recursion. Give the futex/rtmutex wait_lock a separate key.
