[Not to merge just yet ... almost] This serie of patches adds lockdep support for 64 bits powerpc. Dale's patch for 32 bits still need me to review and test it which I'll try to do asap.
It needs the iSeries hardirq enable fix that I posted earlier (which is probably 2.6.25 material). Note that we can already see potential problems exposed by it. So far on my list: - something wrong with iseries veth. Haven't got to figure out what yet, could be a false positive - possible deadlock with the device-tree rwlock. The one that I caught with lockdep here is pSeries rtas_set_rtc_time() calls rtas_token() from softirq, which does on of_find_property(), which takes the read lock. Other things can call prom_add_propety() which can take the write lock, while softirqs are enabled -> boom. Maybe we should forbid OF device-tree access from IRQs and thus things that need to use rtas_token() will have to cache the token. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
