Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] iop-adma: fix lockdep false positive
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2009 08:40:47 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090831154047.1068.35013.stgit@dwillia2-linux.ch.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090831153946.1068.86702.stgit@dwillia2-linux.ch.intel.com>

lockdep correctly identifies a potential recursive locking case for
iop_chan->lock, but in the dependency submission case we expect that the same
class will be acquired for both the parent dependency and the child channel.
