Subject: [PATCH] Battery: sysfs_remove_battery(): possible circular locking
Date: Sat, 6 Aug 2011 01:34:08 +0300	[thread overview]

Author: Lan Tianyu <tianyu.lan@intel.com>

    ACPI / Battery: Resolve the race condition in the sysfs_remove_battery()

fixed BUG https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35642 , but as a side
effect made lockdep unhappy with sysfs_remove_battery():

This patch introduces separate lock to struct acpi_battery to 
grab in sysfs_remove_battery() instead of battery->lock.
So fix by Lan Tianyu is still there, we just grab independent lock.
