From 673d62cc5ea6fca046650f17f77985b112c62322 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vegard Nossum Date: Sun, 31 Aug 2008 23:39:21 +0200 Subject: debugobjects: fix lockdep warning Daniel J. Blueman reported: > ======================================================= > [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] > 2.6.27-rc4-224c #1 > ------------------------------------------------------- > hald/4680 is trying to acquire lock: > (&n->list_lock){++..}, at: [] add_partial+0x26/0x80 > > but task is already holding lock: > (&obj_hash[i].lock){++..}, at: [] > debug_object_free+0x5c/0x120 We fix it by moving the actual freeing to outside the lock (the lock now only protects the list). The pool lock is also promoted to irq-safe (suggested by Dan). It's necessary because free_pool is now called outside the irq disabled region. So we need to protect against an interrupt handler which calls debug_object_init().
