lockdep: Don't create the wrong dependency on hlock->check == 0
Test-case: DEFINE_MUTEX(m1); DEFINE_MUTEX(m2); DEFINE_MUTEX(mx); void lockdep_should_complain(void) { lockdep_set_novalidate_class(&mx); // m1 -> mx -> m2 mutex_lock(&m1); mutex_lock(&mx); mutex_lock(&m2); mutex_unlock(&m2); mutex_unlock(&mx); mutex_unlock(&m1); // m2 -> m1 ; should trigger the warning mutex_lock(&m2); mutex_lock(&m1); mutex_unlock(&m1); mutex_unlock(&m2); } this doesn't trigger any warning, lockdep can't detect the trivial deadlock. This is because lock(&mx) correctly avoids m1 -> mx dependency, it skips validate_chain() due to mx->check == 0. But lock(&m2) wrongly adds mx -> m2 and thus m1 -> m2 is not created. rcu_lock_acquire()->lock_acquire(check => 0) is fine due to read == 2, so currently only __lockdep_no_validate__ can trigger this problem.
