[PATCH v2 2/4] iop-adma: fix lockdep false positive

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



lockdep correctly identifies a potential recursive locking case for
iop_chan->lock, but in the dependency submission case we expect that the same
class will be acquired for both the parent dependency and the child channel.
