The patch titled lockdep-more-unlock-on-error-fixes fix has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is lockdep-more-unlock-on-error-fixes-fix.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-more-unlock-on-error-fixes fix From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx> My __acquire_lock() cleanup introduced a locking bug: on SMP systems we'd release a non-owned graph lock. Fix this by moving the graph unlock back, and by leaving the max_lockdep_depth variable update possibly racy. (we dont care, it's just statistics) Also add some minimal debugging code to graph_unlock()/graph_lock(), which caught this locking bug.
