The patch titled make lockdep happy with r/o bind mounts has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is make-lockdep-happy-with-r-o-bind-mounts.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: make lockdep happy with r/o bind mounts From: Dave Hansen <haveblue@xxxxxxxxxx> With the r/o bind mount patches, we can have as many spinlocks nested as there are CPUs on the system. Lockdep freaks out after 8. So, create a new lockdep class of locks for the mnt_writer spinlocks, and initialize each of the cpu locks to be in a different class. It should shut up warnings like this, while still allowing some of the lockdep goodness to remain: ============================================= [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] 2.6.23-rc6 #6 --------------------------------------------- swapper/1 is trying to acquire lock: (&writer->lock){--..}, at: [<c016c094>] lock_and_coalesce_cpu_mnt_writer_counts+0x29/0x5c but task is already holding lock: (&writer->lock){--..}, at: [<c016c094>] lock_and_coalesce_cpu_mnt_writer_counts+0x29/0x5c other info that might help us debug this: 1 lock held by swapper/1: #0: (&writer->lock){--..}, at: [<c016c094>] lock_and_coalesce_cpu_mnt_writer_counts+0x29/0x5c stack backtrace: [<c01034ab>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x19/0x2e [<c01034d2>] show_trace+0x12/0x14 [<c01035be>] dump_stack+0x14/0x16 [<c0130ab2>] print_deadlock_bug+0xb7/0xc1 [<c0130afc>] check_deadlock+0x40/0x54 [<c013100a>] validate_chain+0x26e/0x319 [<c0132cca>] __lock_acquire+0x6c4/0x731 [<c01332da>] lock_acquire+0x7a/0x94 [<c031bb01>] _spin_lock+0x38/0x62 [<c016c094>] lock_and_coalesce_cpu_mnt_writer_counts+0x29/0x5c [<c016c5f8>] mntput_no_expire+0x38/0xad [<c015fbed>] path_release_on_umount+0x15/0x18 [<c016cc76>] sys_umount+0x67/0x6f [<c010058a>] name_to_dev_t+0x22a/0x24c [<c0427207>] prepare_namespace+0x89/0x187 [<c0426cdd>] kernel_init+0x9a/0xa3 [<c010336f>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 ======================= Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <haveblue@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/namespace.c | 2 ++ 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+) diff -puN fs/namespace.c~make-lockdep-happy-with-r-o-bind-mounts fs/namespace.c --- a/fs/namespace.c~make-lockdep-happy-with-r-o-bind-mounts +++ a/fs/namespace.c @@ -115,6 +115,7 @@ struct mnt_writer { * must be ordered by cpu number. */ spinlock_t lock;
