Subject: [RFC] lockdep: Add helper function for dir vs file i_mutex annotation
The below is an attempt to take Linus' option (c) from this thread:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/15/272
and make it work. Given that the helper function calls
lockdep_match_key and that isn't defined unless CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
is set, I opted to make the caller require #ifdefing it still. If that's
too ugly, I could define it in both cases but then we'd have an exported
symbol that did nothing when the config option is disabled.
I'm looking at this because of
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=730998 but it also seems
like an issue that just keeps hanging around.
Comments/flames appreciated.

Subject: [PATCH] lockdep: Add helper function for dir vs file i_mutex
annotation
Purely in-memory filesystems do not use the inode hash as the dcache tells
us if an entry already exists. As a result, they do not call
unlock_new_inode. If CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is set, this can lead to
false positives from lockdep like below:
| find/645 is trying to acquire lock:
| (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff81109514>] might_fault+0x5c/0xac
|
| but task is already holding lock:
| (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#15){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81149f34>]
| vfs_readdir+0x5b/0xb4
|
| which lock already depends on the new lock.
|
| the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
|
| -> #1 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#15){+.+.+.}:
| [<ffffffff8108ac26>] lock_acquire+0xbf/0x103
| [<ffffffff814db822>] __mutex_lock_common+0x4c/0x361
| [<ffffffff814dbc46>] mutex_lock_nested+0x40/0x45
| [<ffffffff811daa87>] hugetlbfs_file_mmap+0x82/0x110
| [<ffffffff81111557>] mmap_region+0x258/0x432
| [<ffffffff811119dd>] do_mmap_pgoff+0x2ac/0x306
| [<ffffffff81111b4f>] sys_mmap_pgoff+0x118/0x16a
| [<ffffffff8100c858>] sys_mmap+0x22/0x24
| [<ffffffff814e3ec2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b
|
| -> #0 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}:
| [<ffffffff8108a4bc>] __lock_acquire+0xa1a/0xcf7
| [<ffffffff8108ac26>] lock_acquire+0xbf/0x103
| [<ffffffff81109541>] might_fault+0x89/0xac
| [<ffffffff81149cff>] filldir+0x6f/0xc7
| [<ffffffff811586ea>] dcache_readdir+0x67/0x205
| [<ffffffff81149f54>] vfs_readdir+0x7b/0xb4
| [<ffffffff8114a073>] sys_getdents+0x7e/0xd1
| [<ffffffff814e3ec2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b
This moves the directory vs file lockdep annotation into a helper function
that can be called by in-memory filesystems and has hugetlbfs call it.
