Subject: [PATCH] Lockdep treats down_write_trylock like regular down_write
Date: Mon, 09 Apr 2007 13:56:44 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <461A0DDC.5060709@sw.ru> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 282 bytes --]

This causes constructions like

down_write(&mm1->mmap_sem);
if (down_write_trylock(&mm2->mmap_sem)) {
       ...
       up_write(&mm2->mmap_sem);
}
up_write(&mm1->mmap_sem);

generate a lockdep warning about circular locking dependence.

Call rwsem_acquire() with trylock set to 1.
