3.16.52-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>
commit 3510c7aa069aa83a2de6dab2b41401a198317bdc upstream.
The recent fix for adding rwsem nesting annotation was using the given
"hop" argument as the lock subclass key. Although the idea itself
works, it may trigger a kernel warning like:
BUG: looking up invalid subclass: 8
....
since the lockdep has a smaller number of subclasses (8) than we
currently allow for the hops there (10).
The current definition is merely a sanity check for avoiding the too
deep delivery paths, and the 8 hops are already enough. So, as a
quick fix, just follow the max hops as same as the max lockdep
subclasses.
Fixes: 1f20f9ff57ca ("ALSA: seq: Fix nested rwsem annotation for lockdep splat")
