That too, I have one queued up; but if you can realiably trigger this
that's 'good' news. Most reports so far have been one offs that people
could not reproduce.

Let me wake up a bit more, but in the meantime, the below is what I had
queued.

Subject: locking,lockdep: Use __jhash_mix for iterate_chain_key
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

Use __jhash_mix() to mix the class_idx into the class_key. This
function provides better mixing than the previously used, home grown
mix function.

Leave hashing to the professionals :-)
