Yes, as far as I can tell:
[greearb@...ld-32 linux-2.6.p4s]$ grep LOCKDEP .config
CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y

And it doesn't appear to have turned itself off:

[root@...2010-ath9k-1 ~]# dmesg|grep lockdep
	RCU lockdep checking is enabled.
lockdep: fixing up alternatives.
[root@...2010-ath9k-1 ~]#

I looked through the kernel debug section of the config, and it
seems normal enough...

But, after this splat, if I run sysrq-d, then it says sysrq is off,
maybe because the splat disabled it?

SysRq : Show Locks Held
INFO: lockdep is turned off.

sysrq-l does show backtraces, so the backtrace logic in general
seems to work fine.

No, it's called multiple times by my user-space control logic.  Basically,
it configures around 30 interfaces, some GRE, veth, mac-vlans, .1q vlans, normal ethernet, etc.
Also, I have some ipv6 addrs configured on many of them.

And, setting up routing rules, for ipv4 and ipv6 for the virtual routers.

Thanks,
Ben
