Subject: locking/lockdep: add sequence counter to held_lock
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 15:08:26 -0400
Add an 8 bit small sequence counter to the held_lock struct to detect if
the lock as been dropped and reacquired. This is useful when a data
structure depends on a constant locking context, but is not able to detect
locking and unlocking of the lock through its own API.
Since the __lock_unpin_lock() will no longer detect underflow by casting
the unsigned int to a signed int, update the casting code to use a temp
variable for calculations using a signed int.
