3.11-rc6's commit 58ad436fcf49 ("genetlink: fix family dump race")
gives me the lockdep trace below at startup.
I think it needs to be reverted until you can refine it. And it has
already gone into today's stable review series, as 04/12 for 3.0.92,
26/34 for 3.4.59, 18/45 for 3.10.8: I raise an objection to those.
