Mainline Linux tree for various devices, only for fun :)
87a30e1f05
For good reason, the standard device_lock() is marked lockdep_set_novalidate_class() because there is simply no sane way to describe the myriad ways the device_lock() ordered with other locks. However, that leaves subsystems that know their own local device_lock() ordering rules to find lock ordering mistakes manually. Instead, introduce an optional / additional lockdep-enabled lock that a subsystem can acquire in all the same paths that the device_lock() is acquired. A conversion of the NFIT driver and NVDIMM subsystem to a lockdep-validate device_lock() scheme is included. The debug_nvdimm_lock() implementation implements the correct lock-class and stacking order for the libnvdimm device topology hierarchy. Yes, this is a hack, but hopefully it is a useful hack for other subsystems device_lock() debug sessions. Quoting Greg: "Yeah, it feels a bit hacky but it's really up to a subsystem to mess up using it as much as anything else, so user beware :) I don't object to it if it makes things easier for you to debug."

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
