Subject: [PATCH 1/2] dma-buf: Assign separate lockdep class to chain lock
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 09:55:43 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260224175544.2167712-1-matthew.brost@intel.com> (raw)
dma_fence_chain_enable_signaling() runs while holding the chain
inline_lock and may add callbacks to underlying fences, which takes
their inline_lock.
Since both locks share the same lockdep class, this valid nesting
triggers a recursive locking warning. Assign a distinct lockdep class
to the chain inline_lock so lockdep can correctly model the hierarchy.
Fixes: a408c0ca0c41 ("dma-buf: use inline lock for the dma-fence-chain")
