With the r/o bind mount patches, we can have as many
spinlocks nested as there are CPUs on the system.
Lockdep freaks out after 8.
So, create a new lockdep class of locks for the
mnt_writer spinlocks, and initialize each of the
cpu locks to be in a different class.
It should shut up warnings like this, while still
allowing some of the lockdep goodness to remain:
=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.23-rc6 #6
---------------------------------------------
swapper/1 is trying to acquire lock:
(&writer->lock){--..}, at: [<c016c094>]
lock_and_coalesce_cpu_mnt_writer_counts+0x29/0x5c
but task is already holding lock:
(&writer->lock){--..}, at: [<c016c094>]
lock_and_coalesce_cpu_mnt_writer_counts+0x29/0x5c
other info that might help us debug this:
