Subject: [PATCH] kthread_worker: Initialize dynamically allocated spinlock properly for lockdep
Date: Sun, 19 Dec 2010 07:49:35 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1292762975.2403.29.camel@localhost> (raw)

init_kthread_worker(), via KTHREAD_WORKER_INIT(), used an
initializer for static spin_lock objects, SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED, on
a dynamically allocated kthread_worker object's internal spinlock_t.
This causes lockdep to gripe:

	INFO: trying to register non-static key.
	the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.
	turning off the locking correctness validator.

To keep lockdep happy, use spin_lock_init() for dynamically
allocated kthread_worker objects' internal spinlock_t.
