mainlining shenanigans
23870f1227
During the LPC RCU BoF Paul asked how come the "USED" <- "IN-NMI"
detector doesn't trip over rcu_read_lock()'s lockdep annotation.
Looking into this I found a very embarrasing typo in
verify_lock_unused():
- if (!(class->usage_mask & LOCK_USED))
+ if (!(class->usage_mask & LOCKF_USED))
fixing that will indeed cause rcu_read_lock() to insta-splat :/
The above typo means that instead of testing for: 0x100 (1 <<
LOCK_USED), we test for 8 (LOCK_USED), which corresponds to (1 <<
LOCK_ENABLED_HARDIRQ).
So instead of testing for _any_ used lock, it will only match any lock
used with interrupts enabled.
The rcu_read_lock() annotation uses .check=0, which means it will not
set any of the interrupt bits and will thus never match.
In order to properly fix the situation and allow rcu_read_lock() to
correctly work, split LOCK_USED into LOCK_USED and LOCK_USED_READ and by
having .read users set USED_READ and test USED, pure read-recursive
locks are permitted.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
