Subject: lockdep: Fix lock_is_held() on recursion
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f2513cde93f0957d5dc6c09bc24b0cccd27d8e1d;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

lockdep: Fix lock_is_held() on recursion

The main lock_is_held() user is lockdep_assert_held(), avoid false
assertions in lockdep_off() sections by unconditionally reporting the
lock is taken.

[ the reason this is important is a lockdep_assert_held() in ttwu()
  which triggers a warning under lockdep_off() as in printk() which
  can trigger another wakeup and lock up due to spinlock
  recursion, as reported and heroically debugged by Arne Jansen ]
