Hello Tejun, One possibility is to check the count for the local CPU of q->q_usage_counter at runtime, e.g. using WARN_ON_ONCE(). However, that might have a runtime overhead. Another possibility is to follow the example of kernfs and to use a lockdep map and lockdep_assert_held(). There might be other alternatives I have not thought of. Bart.
