It was found that lockdep splat was produced whenever the ww_mutex
locktorture test was run on a kernel with lockdep enabled. It turns out
that there are bugs both in the ww_mutex and the locktorture code. This
patch series fix these bugs so that the ww_mutex locktorture test is
able to run without producing unexpected lockdep splat.
Patches 1 & 2 are clean-up patches for ww_mutex. Patch 3 fixes the lockdep
bug in ww_mutex and patch 4 fixes a bug in the locktorture code.
Waiman Long (4):
locking/ww_mutex: Simplify use_ww_ctx & ww_ctx handling
locking/ww_mutex: Fix acquire/release imbalance in
ww_acquire_init()/ww_acquire_fini()
locking/ww_mutex: Treat ww_mutex_lock() like a trylock
locking/locktorture: Fix incorrect use of ww_acquire_ctx in ww_mutex
