lockdep: Fix lock_is_held() on recursion
commit f2513cde93f0957d5dc6c09bc24b0cccd27d8e1d upstream. The main lock_is_held() user is lockdep_assert_held(), avoid false assertions in lockdep_off() sections by unconditionally reporting the lock is taken. [ the reason this is important is a lockdep_assert_held() in ttwu() which triggers a warning under lockdep_off() as in printk() which can trigger another wakeup and lock up due to spinlock recursion, as reported and heroically debugged by Arne Jansen ] Reported-and-tested-by: Arne Jansen <lists@die-jansens.de> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1307398759.2497.966.camel@laptop Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
