It seems to me that when the second time alloc_workqueue() is called
from the same code path, it would have two locks with the same key, but
not the same &wq->name, which doesn't meet lockdep's assumption.
Maybe we could use the #fmt plus #args as the lock_name to avoid the
above issue? It could also give some more information for some string
like %s#5. Draft code attached below.
I removed __builtin_constant_p() check (I don't know how to check all
the args). However, by removing the check, it only adds two additional
two "s for those constants.
Some lockdep name examples I printed out after the change:
lockdep name wq->name
"events_long" events_long
"%s"("khelper") khelper
"xfs-data/%s"mp->m_fsname xfs-data/dm-3
...
A little bit ugly, not sure whether we could generate some better names
here?
Thanks,
Zhong
