epoll can acquire multiple ep->mutex on multiple "struct eventpoll"s
|
||
|
at once in the case where one epoll fd is monitoring another epoll
|
||
|
fd. This is perfectly OK, since we're careful about the lock ordering,
|
||
|
but causes spurious lockdep warnings. Annotate the recursion using
|
||
|
mutex_lock_nested, and add a comment explaining the nesting rules for
|
||
|
good measure.

I've tested this on a synthetic epoll test case, that just adds e1 to
|
||
|
e2 and then does an epoll_wait(). I verified that it caused lockdep
|
||
|
problems on 3.0 and that this patch fixed it, but I haven't done more
|
||
|
extensive testing. Paul, are you able to test systemd against this?
