Performance oriented customized Linux kernel based on the mainline kernel.

Native bit_spin_locks are not tracked by lockdep. The bit_spin_locks used for rhashtable buckets are local to the rhashtable implementation, so there is little opportunity for the sort of misuse that lockdep might detect. However locks are held while a hash function or compare function is called, and if one of these took a lock, a misbehaviour is possible. As it is quite easy to add lockdep support this unlikely possibility seems to be enough justification. So create a lockdep class for bucket bit_spin_lock and attach through a lockdep_map in each bucket_table. Without the 'nested' annotation in rhashtable_rehash_one(), lockdep correctly reports a possible problem as this lock is taken while another bucket lock (in another table) is held. This confirms that the added support works. With the correct nested annotation in place, lockdep reports no problems. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
