[PATCH] autofs4 - fix lockdep splat in autofs

From: Ian Kent
Date: Mon Aug 22 2011 - 00:02:00 EST


From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

When recursing down the locks when traversing a tree/list in
get_next_positive_dentry() or get_next_positive_subdir() a lock can
change from being nested to being a parent which breaks lockdep. This
patch tells lockdep about what we did.
