^^^^^^^^^
This is wrong now, the logic is inverted.
It will WARN every time mode_lock is _not_ held:
#define lockdep_assert_held(l) do { \
WARN_ON(debug_locks && !lockdep_is_held(l)); \
} while (0)
The previous version was correct which did a WARN when mode_lock was
actually held as that is the wrong condition, not when it's not held.
I've missed that comment earlier.
(also switched Veaceslav's email address with the correct one in the CC list)
