Subject: [PATCH v5 1/2] locking/lockdep: Avoid creating new name string literals in lockdep_set_subclass()
Date: Sun, 25 Aug 2024 01:10:30 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240824221031.7751-1-bottaawesome633@gmail.com> (raw)

Syzbot reports a problem that a warning will be triggered while
searching a lock class in look_up_lock_class().

The cause of the issue is that a new name is created and used by
lockdep_set_subclass() instead of using the existing one. This results
in two lock classes with the same key but different name pointers and a
WARN_ONCE() is triggered because of that in look_up_lock_class().

To fix this, change lockdep_set_subclass() to use the existing name
instead of a new one. Hence, no new name will be created by
lockdep_set_subclass(). Hence, the warning is avoided.
