Ah, nice catch. I think we should put at least the name in regardless.

Ensure we at least initialize the trivial entries of the depmap so that
they can be relied upon, even when lockdep itself decided to pack up and
go home.

[ Impact: fix lock tracing after lockdep warnings. ]

Impact: clarify lockdep printk text

  "HARDIRQ", "SOFTIRQ", "RECLAIM_FS"

and appends "-irq-{un,}safe" to them, which is either redudant for *IRQ or
confusing in the RECLAIM_FS case.

Nick Piggin cf40bd16fd lockdep: annotate reclaim context (__GFP_NOFS)
Here is another version, with the incremental patch rolled up, and
added reclaim context annotation to kswapd, and allocation tracing
to slab allocators (which may only ever reach the page allocator
in rare cases, so it is good to put annotations here too).

Haven't tested this version as such, but it should be getting closer
to merge worthy ;)

--
After noticing some code in mm/filemap.c accidentally perform a __GFP_FS
allocation when it should not have been, I thought it might be a good idea to
try to catch this kind of thing with lockdep.

I coded up a little idea that seems to work. Unfortunately the system has to
actually be in __GFP_FS page reclaim, then take the lock, before it will mark
it. But at least that might still be some orders of magnitude more common
(and more debuggable) than an actual deadlock condition, so we have some
improvement I hope (the concept is no less complete than discovery of a lock's
interrupt contexts).

I guess we could even do the same thing with __GFP_IO (normal reclaim), and
even GFP_NOIO locks too... but filesystems will have the most locks and fiddly
code paths, so let's start there and see how it goes.

It *seems* to work. I did a quick test.

  kernel/lockdep.c:584: warning: ‘print_lock_dependencies’ defined but not used

triggers because print_lock_dependencies() is only used if both
CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS and CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING are enabled.

But adding #ifdefs is not an option here - it would spread out to 4-5
other helper functions and uglify the file. So mark this function
as __used - it's static and the compiler can eliminate it just fine.

Heiko Carstens 6afe40b4da lockdep: fix irqs on/off ip tracing
Impact: fix lockdep lock-api-caller output when irqsoff tracing is enabled

81d68a96 "ftrace: trace irq disabled critical timings" added wrappers around
trace_hardirqs_on/off_caller. However these functions use
__builtin_return_address(0) to figure out which function actually disabled
or enabled irqs. The result is that we save the ips of trace_hardirqs_on/off
instead of the real caller. Not very helpful.

However since the patch from Steven the ip already gets passed. So use that
and get rid of __builtin_return_address(0) in these two functions.

Zhu Yi 7487017282 lockdep: fix invalid list_del_rcu in zap_class
The problem is found during iwlagn driver testing on
v2.6.27-rc4-176-gb8e6c91 kernel, but it turns out to be a lockdep bug.
In our testing, we frequently load and unload the iwlagn driver
(>50 times). Then the MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES is reached (expected
behaviour?). The error message with the call trace is as below.

BUG: MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES too low!
turning off the locking correctness validator.

---[ end trace a1297e0c4abb0f2e ]---

The root cause for this oops is in add_lock_to_list() when
save_trace() fails due to MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES is reached,
entry->class is assigned but entry is never added into any lock list.
This makes the list_del_rcu() in zap_class() oops later when the
module is unloaded. This patch fixes the problem by assigning
entry->class after save_trace() returns success.

Do as Linus suggested. The lock protection lock is called nest_lock.

Note that we still have the MAX_LOCK_DEPTH (48) limit to consider, so anything
that spills that it still up shit creek.
