Subject: [PATCH v2] printk_legacy_map: use LD_WAIT_CONFIG instead of LD_WAIT_SLEEP
Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2025 12:32:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251023103234.GA27415@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251022154115.GA22400@redhat.com>

printk_legacy_map is used on !PREEMPT_RT to avoid false positives from
CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING about raw_spinlock/spinlock nesting.

However, LD_WAIT_SLEEP is not exactly right; it fools lockdep as if it
is fine to acquire a sleeping lock.

Change DEFINE_WAIT_OVERRIDE_MAP(printk_legacy_map) to use LD_WAIT_CONFIG.

Also, update the comment to make it more clear as suggested by Petr.
