Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Lockdep: Reduce stack trace memory usage

Hi Peter,

An unfortunate side effect of commit 669de8bda87b ("kernel/workqueue: Use
dynamic lockdep keys for workqueues") is that all stack traces associated
with the lockdep key are leaked when a workqueue is destroyed. Fix this by
storing each unique stack trace once. Please consider this patch series
for Linux kernel v5.4.

Thanks,

Bart.

  locking/lockdep: Make it clear that what lock_class::key points at is
    not modified
  stacktrace: Constify 'entries' arguments
  locking/lockdep: Reduce space occupied by stack traces
  locking/lockdep: Report more stack trace statistics
