I tested the patch above with the following code,
wait_queue_head_t w1, w2, w3;
init_waitqueue_head(&w1);
init_waitqueue_head(&w2);
init_waitqueue_head(&w3);
local_irq_disable();
spin_lock(&w1.lock);
spin_mark_nested(&w2.lock);
spin_lock(&w2.lock);
spin_mark_nested(&w3.lock);
wake_up(&w3);
spin_unmark_nested(&w3.lock);
spin_unlock(&w2.lock);
spin_unmark_nested(&w2.lock);
spin_unlock(&w1.lock);
local_irq_enable();
seems to work. What do you think?
Oleg.
