Subject: [PATCH 0/4] lockdep cmp fn conversions

rationale:
*_lock_nested() is fundamentally broken - in order for lockdep to work
we need to be able to check that we're following some defined ordering,
and it's not possible to define a total ordering of an arbitrary number
of objects with only a small fixed size enum.

so it needs to go. awhile back I added the ability to set a comparison
function for a lock class, and this is the start of hopefully a slow
steady trickle of patches as time allows to convert code to use it.

Kent Overstreet (4):
  fs/pipe: Convert to lockdep_cmp_fn
  pktcdvd: kill mutex_lock_nested() usage
  net: Convert sk->sk_peer_lock to lock_set_cmp_fn_ptr_order()
  af_unix: convert to lock_cmp_fn
