Isn't it better to call lock_release() with nested == 1 ?
Not sure, Ingo?
Ingo, could you also explain the meaning of "nested" parameter? Looks
like it is just unneeded, lock_release_nested() does a quick check and
use lock_release_non_nested() when hlock is not on top of stack.
hm, i forgot about that. We basically turned off all bad-nesting
warnings in lockdep due to false positives.
the workqueue dependencies should all nest perfectly so please just use
nested==1, even though it's a dummy right now. We might want to turn
unlock-nest checking back on in the future. Or we'll remove that
parameter altogether.
