[PATCH] lockdep: change scheduler annotation

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Wed Jul 30 2008 - 07:27:18 EST


While thinking about David's patch it _finally_ dawned on me that there
is no reason we have a lock class per cpu..

Sorry for being dense :-/

The below changes the annotation from a lock class per cpu, to a single
nested lock, as the scheduler never holds more that 2 rq locks at a time
anyway.

If there was code requiring holding all rq locks this would not work and
the original annotation would be the only option, but that not being the
case, this is a much lighter one.

Compiles and boots on a 2-way x86_64.
