From 9f12600fe425bc28f0ccba034a77783c09c15af4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sat, 31 May 2014 09:13:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] dcache: add missing lockdep annotation lock_parent() very much on purpose does nested locking of dentries, and is careful to maintain the right order (lock parent first). But because it didn't annotate the nested locking order, lockdep thought it might be a deadlock on d_lock, and complained. Add the proper annotation for the inner locking of the child dentry to make lockdep happy. Introduced by commit 046b961b45f9 ("shrink_dentry_list(): take parent's ->d_lock earlier").
