From aefceaf453024ef4cf8a0f93c4b1edf6c6f748bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Hurley Date: Sun, 11 Aug 2013 08:04:23 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] n_tty: Fix termios_rwsem lockdep false positive Lockdep reports a circular lock dependency between atomic_read_lock and termios_rwsem [1]. However, a lock order deadlock is not possible since CPU1 only holds a read lock which cannot prevent CPU0 from also acquiring a read lock on the same r/w semaphore. Unfortunately, lockdep cannot currently distinguish whether the locks are read or write for any particular lock graph, merely that the locks _were_ previously read and/or write. Until lockdep is fixed, re-order atomic_read_lock so termios_rwsem can be dropped and reacquired without triggering lockdep.
