[PATCH v2 1/2] ext4: Forcing subclasses to have same name pointer as their parent class

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Ahmed Ehab <bottaawesome633@xxxxxxxxx>

Preventing lockdep_set_subclass from creating a new instance of the 
string literal. Hence, we will always have the same class->name among
parent and subclasses. This prevents kernel panics when looking up a 
lock class while comparing class locks and class names.
