4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Daniel Mentz <danielmentz@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 18b43e89d295cc65151c505c643c98fb2c320e59 upstream.
trace_hardirqs_on_caller() in lockdep.c expects to be called before, not
after interrupts are actually enabled.
The following comment in kernel/locking/lockdep.c substantiates this
claim:
"
/*
* We're enabling irqs and according to our state above irqs weren't
* already enabled, yet we find the hardware thinks they are in fact
* enabled.. someone messed up their IRQ state tracing.
*/
"
An example can be found in include/linux/irqflags.h:
do { trace_hardirqs_on(); raw_local_irq_enable(); } while (0)
Without this change, we hit the following DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON.
