The patch titled make lockdep happy with r/o bind mounts has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was r-o-bind-mounts-track-number-of-mount-writers-make-lockdep-happy-with-r-o-bind-mounts.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged ------------------------------------------------------ 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> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/namespace.c | 2 ++ 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+) diff -puN fs/namespace.c~r-o-bind-mounts-track-number-of-mount-writers-make-lockdep-happy-with-r-o-bind-mounts fs/namespace.c --- a/fs/namespace.c~r-o-bind-mounts-track-number-of-mount-writers-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; + struct lock_class_key lock_class; /* compiles out with !lockdep */ unsigned long count; struct vfsmount *mnt; } ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp; @@ -126,6 +127,7 @@ static int __init init_mnt_writers(void) for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) { struct mnt_writer *writer = &per_cpu(mnt_writers, cpu); spin_lock_init(&writer->lock); + lockdep_set_class(&writer->lock, &writer->lock_class); writer->count = 0; } return 0; _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from haveblue@xxxxxxxxxx are markers-fix-warnings.patch maps4-add-proportional-set-size-accounting-in-smaps.patch maps4-rework-task_size-macros.patch maps4-move-is_swap_pte.patch maps4-introduce-a-generic-page-walker.patch maps4-use-pagewalker-in-clear_refs-and-smaps.patch maps4-simplify-interdependence-of-maps-and-smaps.patch maps4-move-clear_refs-code-to-task_mmuc.patch maps4-regroup-task_mmu-by-interface.patch maps4-add-proc-pid-pagemap-interface.patch maps4-add-proc-kpagecount-interface.patch maps4-add-proc-kpageflags-interface.patch maps4-make-page-monitoring-proc-file-optional.patch maps4-make-page-monitoring-proc-file-optional-fix.patch hugetlb-split-alloc_huge_page-into-private-and-shared-components.patch hugetlb-split-alloc_huge_page-into-private-and-shared-components-checkpatch-fixes.patch hugetlb-fix-quota-management-for-private-mappings.patch hugetlb-debit-quota-in-alloc_huge_page.patch hugetlb-allow-bulk-updating-in-hugetlb__quota.patch hugetlb-enforce-quotas-during-reservation-for-shared-mappings.patch add-remove_memory-for-ppc64-2.patch enable-hotplug-memory-remove-for-ppc64.patch add-arch-specific-walk_memory_remove-for-ppc64.patch r-o-bind-mounts-track-number-of-mount-writers-make-lockdep-happy-with-r-o-bind-mounts.patch r-o-bind-mounts-track-number-of-mount-writers-fix.patch r-o-bind-mounts-honor-r-w-changes-at-do_remount-time.patch reiser4.patch page-owner-tracking-leak-detector.patch - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
