The patch titled lockdep: remove mutex deadlock checking code has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is lockdep-remove-mutex-deadlock-checking-code.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: lockdep: remove mutex deadlock checking code From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx> With the lock validator we detect mutex deadlocks (and more), the mutex deadlock checking code is both redundant and slower. So remove it.
