The patch titled lockdep: annotate the BLKPG_DEL_PARTITION ioctl has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is lockdep-annotate-the-blkpg_del_partition-ioctl.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: annotate the BLKPG_DEL_PARTITION ioctl From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The delete partition IOCTL takes the bd_mutex for both the disk and the partition; these have an obvious hierarchical relationship and this patch annotates this relationship for lockdep.
