[PATCH] drivers/core: Replace lockdep_set_novalidate_class() with unique class keys

From: Tetsuo Handa
Date: Wed Feb 08 2023 - 05:31:27 EST


Commit 1704f47b50b5 ("lockdep: Add novalidate class for dev->mutex
conversion") made it impossible to find real deadlocks unless timing
dependent testings manage to trigger hung task like [1] and [2]. And
lockdep_set_novalidate_class() remained for more than one decade due to
a fear of false positives [3]. But not sharing mutex_init() could make
it possible to find real deadlocks without triggering hung task [4].
Thus, let's assign a unique class key on each "struct device"->mutex.

Hello, syzkaller users.

We made a patch that keeps lockdep validation enabled on "struct dev->mutex".
Will you try this patch and see if this patch causes boot failures and/or
too frequent crashes to continue testing.
