[PATCH] locking/lockdep: Fix expected depth value in __lock_release()

From: j . glisse
Date: Mon Oct 19 2015 - 15:30:50 EST


From: JÃrÃme Glisse <jglisse@xxxxxxxxxx>

In __lock_release() we are removing one entry from the stack and
rebuilding the hash chain by re-adding entry above the entry we
just removed. If the entry removed was between 2 entry of same
class then this 2 entry might be coalesced into one single entry
which in turns means that the lockdep_depth value will not be
incremented and thus the expected lockdep_depth value after this
operation will be wrong triggering an unjustified WARN_ONCE() at
the end of __lock_release().

This patch adjust the expect depth value by decrementing it if
what was previously 2 entry inside the stack are coalesced into
only one entry.

Note that __lock_set_class() does not suffer from same issue as
it adds a new class and thus can not lead to coalescing of stack
entry.
