6.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 265f3ed077036f053981f5eea0b5b43e7c5b39ff ]
All callers of work_on_cpu() share the same lock class key for all the
functions queued. As a result the workqueue related locking scenario for
a function A may be spuriously accounted as an inversion against the
locking scenario of function B such as in the following model:
long A(void *arg)
{
mutex_lock(&mutex);
mutex_unlock(&mutex);
}
long B(void *arg)
{
}
void launchA(void)
{
work_on_cpu(0, A, NULL);
}
void launchB(void)
{
mutex_lock(&mutex);
work_on_cpu(1, B, NULL);
mutex_unlock(&mutex);
}
launchA and launchB running concurrently have no chance to deadlock.
However the above can be reported by lockdep as a possible locking
inversion because the works containing A() and B() are treated as
belonging to the same locking class.
The following shows an existing example of such a spurious lockdep splat:

Fix this with providing one lock class key per work_on_cpu() caller.
