4.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Ben Hutchings <[email protected]> commit 98dcea0cfd04e083ac74137ceb9a632604740e2d upstream. liblockdep has been broken since commit 75dd602a5198 ("lockdep: Fix lock_chain::base size"), as that adds a check that MAX_LOCK_DEPTH is within the range of lock_chain::depth and in liblockdep it is much too large. That should have resulted in a compiler error, but didn't because: - the check uses ARRAY_SIZE(), which isn't yet defined in liblockdep so is assumed to be an (undeclared) function - putting a function call inside a BUILD_BUG_ON() expression quietly turns it into some nonsense involving a variable-length array It did produce a compiler warning, but I didn't notice because liblockdep already produces too many warnings if -Wall is enabled (which I'll fix shortly). Even before that commit, which reduced lock_chain::depth from 8 bits to 6, MAX_LOCK_DEPTH was too large.
