4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ [ Upstream commit a788c5272769ddbcdbab297cf386413eeac04463 ] jffs2_sync_fs makes the assumption that if CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_WRITEBUFFER is defined then a write buffer is available and has been initialized. However, this does is not the case when the mtd device has no out-of-band buffer: int jffs2_nand_flash_setup(struct jffs2_sb_info *c) { if (!c->mtd->oobsize) return 0; ... The resulting call to cancel_delayed_work_sync passing a uninitialized (but zeroed) delayed_work struct forces lockdep to become disabled. [ 90.050639] overlayfs: upper fs does not support tmpfile. [ 90.652264] INFO: trying to register non-static key. [ 90.662171] the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation. [ 90.673090] turning off the locking correctness validator.
