From d63a5a74dee87883fda6b7d170244acaac5b05e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2006 02:36:17 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] lockdep: avoid lockdep warning in md md_open takes ->reconfig_mutex which causes lockdep to complain. This (normally) doesn't have deadlock potential as the possible conflict is with a reconfig_mutex in a different device. I say "normally" because if a loop were created in the array->member hierarchy a deadlock could happen. However that causes bigger problems than a deadlock and should be fixed independently. So we flag the lock in md_open as a nested lock. This requires defining mutex_lock_interruptible_nested.
