From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jason Wang Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] vhost: use mutex_lock_nested() in vhost_dev_lock_vqs() Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2018 17:27:25 +0800 Message-ID: <1516699646-7321-1-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: virtualization-bounces@lists.linux-foundation.org Errors-To: virtualization-bounces@lists.linux-foundation.org To: mst@redhat.com, jasowang@redhat.com, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org, virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org List-Id: virtualization@lists.linuxfoundation.org We used to call mutex_lock() in vhost_dev_lock_vqs() which tries to hold mutexes of all virtqueues. This may confuse lockdep to report a possible deadlock because of trying to hold locks belong to same class. Switch to use mutex_lock_nested() to avoid false positive.
