3.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit abbec2da13f0e4c5d9b78b7e2c025a3e617228ba upstream. The addition of lockdep code to write_seqcount_begin/end has lead to a bunch of false positive claims of ABBA deadlocks with the so_lock spinlock. Audits show that this simply cannot happen because the read side code does not spin while holding so_lock.
