The patch titled
timers: simplify lockdep stuff
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
timers-simplify-lockdep-stuff.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: timers: simplify lockdep stuff
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
In order to avoid the false positive from lockdep, each per-cpu base->lock has
the separate lock class and migrate_timers() uses double_spin_lock().
This all is overcomplicated: except for migrate_timers() we never take 2 locks
at once, and migrate_timers() can use spin_lock_nested().
