Daniel Vetter 05df49e73b drm/i915: annote drop_caches debugfs interface with lockdep
The trouble we have is that we can't really test all the shrinker
recursion stuff exhaustively in BAT because any kind of thrashing
stress test just takes too long.

But that leaves a really big gap open, since shrinker recursions are
one of the most annoying bugs. Now lockdep already has support for
checking allocation deadlocks:

- Direct reclaim paths are marked up with
  lockdep_set_current_reclaim_state() and
  lockdep_clear_current_reclaim_state().

- Any allocation paths are marked with lockdep_trace_alloc().

If we simply mark up our debugfs with the reclaim annotations, any
code and locks taken in there will automatically complete the picture
with any allocation paths we already have, as long as we have a simple
testcase in BAT which throws out a few objects using this interface.
Not stress test or thrashing needed at all.

v2: Need to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL to make it compile as a module.

v3: Fixup rebase fail (spotted by Chris).

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
