Yep.. :/

Right, so in order to report a deadlock on instances we'd have to do a
full lock graph walk on every contended lock acquisition. This is quite
expensive.

Although I can look into doing that from say the NMI watchdog and/or
some sysrq key.

Well, typically deadlocks aren't that hard to find once you trigger
them. The current case of course being the exception to that rule..

Oh, missed that in the thread.. yeah here goes.


Now also compile tested with CONFIG_LOCK_STAT...
