Hi, Michel

I don't like the name lock_acquire_shared_recursive().
(I mean the name is wrong, ......)

In the lockdep design, lock_acquire(l, s, t, 2, 2, n, i) is used for
read-preference locks(rwlock) and all types of RCU. not for "recursive"
read-preference implies "recursive".

But the name lock_acquire_shared_recursive() don't tell us it is
read-preference.

Example if we do have a lock which is write-preference but allow read_lock recursive,
it will be still deadlock in this way, "recursive" does not help:

cpu0: spin_lock(a); recursiveable_read_lock(b)
cpu1: recursiveable_read_lock(b); spin_lock(a);
cpu2: write_lock(b);


I also noticed the lockdep annotations problem of lglock. and patch2 is good,
so for patch2: Reviewed-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
