hugetlbfs: lockdep annotate root inode properly
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This fixes the below reported false lockdep warning.  e096d0c
("lockdep: Add helper function for dir vs file i_mutex annotation") added
a similar annotation for every other inode in hugetlbfs but missed the
root inode because it was allocated by a separate function.

For HugeTLB fs we allow taking i_mutex in mmap.  HugeTLB fs doesn't
support file write and its file read callback is modified in a05b085
("hugetlbfs: avoid taking i_mutex from hugetlbfs_read()") to not take
i_mutex.  Hence for HugeTLB fs with regular files we really don't take
i_mutex with mmap_sem held.

 -------------------------------------------------------
 bash/1572 is trying to acquire lock:
  (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff810f1618>] might_fault+0x40/0x90

 but task is already holding lock:
  (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#12){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81125f88>] vfs_readdir+0x56/0xa8

 which lock already depends on the new lock.

 the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
