lockdep: re-annotate scheduler runqueues
Instead of using a per-rq lock class, use the regular nesting operations. However, take extra care with double_lock_balance() as it can release the already held rq->lock (and therefore change its nesting class). So what can happen is: spin_lock(rq->lock); // this rq subclass 0 double_lock_balance(rq, other_rq); // release rq // acquire other_rq->lock subclass 0 // acquire rq->lock subclass 1 spin_unlock(other_rq->lock); leaving you with rq->lock in subclass 1 So a subsequent double_lock_balance() call can try to nest a subclass 1 lock while already holding a subclass 1 lock. Fix this by introducing double_unlock_balance() which releases the other rq's lock, but also re-sets the subclass for this rq's lock to 0.
