Subject: Re: [PATCH v5] lockdep: Allow tuning tracing capacity constants.

Dmitry, I've just sent this patch to tomoyo-test1.git tree, for finding bugs
(which previously could not be found due to lack of this patch) in linux-next.git
will be helpful anyway.

Since this patch should appear in tomorrow's linux-next.git , please prepare
syzkaller for tuning appropriate values (default value + 1 should be OK).
