This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled firmware: Do not use WARN_ON(!spin_is_locked()) to the 3.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: firmware-do-not-use-warn_on-spin_is_locked.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From aee530cfecf4f3ec83b78406bac618cec35853f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2014 11:21:34 -0700 Subject: firmware: Do not use WARN_ON(!spin_is_locked()) From: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit aee530cfecf4f3ec83b78406bac618cec35853f8 upstream. spin_is_locked() always returns false for uniprocessor configurations in several architectures, so do not use WARN_ON with it. Use lockdep_assert_held() instead to also reduce overhead in non-debug kernels.
