Subject: [patch] lockdep: fix seqlock_init() From: Ingo Molnar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
seqlock_init() needs to use spin_lock_init() for dynamic locks, so that lockdep is notified about the presence of a new lock. (this is a fallout of the recent networking merge, which started using the so-far unused seqlock_init() API.) This fix solves the following lockdep-internal warning on current -git: INFO: trying to register non-static key. the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation. turning off the locking correctness validator.
