Subject: [GIT pull] locking fixes for 4.17

Linus,

please pull the latest locking-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git locking-urgent-for-linus

Two fixes to address shortcomings of the rwsem/percpu-rwsem lock debugging
code which emits false positive warnings when the rwsem is anonymously
locked and unlocked.

Thanks,

	tglx

------------------>
Waiman Long (2):
      locking/rwsem: Add a new RWSEM_ANONYMOUSLY_OWNED flag
      locking/percpu-rwsem: Annotate rwsem ownership transfer by setting RWSEM_OWNER_UNKNOWN
