From 0c99fc04f3d4f8a0731c2cc1b2b4d363542b9bbe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2014 11:31:01 -0400 Subject: lockdep: Revert lockdep check in raw_seqcount_begin() commit 22fdcf02f6e80d64a927f702dd9d631a927d87d4 upstream. This commit reverts the addition of lockdep checking to raw_seqcount_begin for the following reasons: 1) It violates the naming convention that raw_* functions should not do lockdep checks (a convention that is also followed by the other raw_*_seqcount_begin functions). 2) raw_seqcount_begin does not spin, so it can only be part of an ABBA deadlock in very special circumstances (for instance if a lock is held across the entire raw_seqcount_begin()+read_seqcount_retry() loop while also being taken inside the write_seqcount protected area). 3) It is causing false positives with some existing callers, and there is no non-lockdep alternative for those callers to use. None of the three existing callers (__d_lookup_rcu, netdev_get_name, and the NFS state code) appear to use the function in a manner that is ABBA deadlock prone.
