The patch titled lockdep: use mutex_lock_nested for bd_mutex to avoid lockdep warning has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is use-mutex_lock_nested-for-bd_mutex-to-avoid-lockdep-warning.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: use mutex_lock_nested for bd_mutex to avoid lockdep warning From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx> Now that the nesting in blkdev_{get,put} is simpler, adding mutex_lock_nested is trivial.
