Subject: Re: tty, vt: lockdep warnings (Patch v3)
commit f35b3fbf24c4e4debb6a7a864b09854ccc2a22e7
Author: Alan Cox <alan@...ux.intel.com>
Date: Wed Nov 7 16:35:08 2012 +0000
fb: Rework locking to fix lock ordering on takeover
Adjust the console layer to allow a take over call where the caller already
holds the locks. Make the fb layer lock in order.
This s partly a band aid, the fb layer is terminally confused about the
locking rules it uses for its notifiers it seems.
