      rcu: Silence lockdep false positive for expedited grace periods · af859bea
      Paul E. McKenney authored
      In a CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernel, synchronize_rcu_expedited()
      acquires the ->exp_funnel_mutex in rcu_preempt_state, then invokes
      synchronize_sched_expedited, which acquires the ->exp_funnel_mutex in
      rcu_sched_state.  There can be no deadlock because rcu_preempt_state
      ->exp_funnel_mutex acquisition always precedes that of rcu_sched_state.
      But lockdep does not know that, so it gives false-positive splats.
      
      This commit therefore associates a separate lock_class_key structure
      with the rcu_sched_state structure's ->exp_funnel_mutex, allowing
      lockdep to see the lock ordering, avoiding the false positives.
