From 74870172824a78640ec4f03058d9bd35dfa08618 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhu Yi Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:33:00 +0800 Subject: 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.

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.
