The patch titled
lock validator: fix NMI-disabling on x86_64
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
lock-validator-disable-nmi-watchdog-if-config_lockdep-x86_64.patch
This patch was dropped because lockdep is being redone
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: lock validator: fix NMI-disabling on x86_64
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>
NMIs confuse lockdep, so we work around this problem by disabling NMI sources.
The exact reason is not fully understood yet, but suspicion is on
irq-disabling done within NMI handlers and this confusing the irq-flags
tracing code - and hence confusing lockdep too. Another potential problem
could be the entry.S return code for NMIs - if that doesnt trace irq flags
correctly then that too could break lockdep. This issue is under
investigation.
