Re: [patch] lockdep, annotate slocks: turn lockdep off for them

Okay, I rebuilt my kernel with your combo patch applied.
Then, I inserted my US Robotics USR2210 PCMCIA wifi card,
ran "pccardutil eject", popped out the card and then inserted
a Compaq iPaq wifi card.  This triggered the following.

[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
-------------------------------------------------------
syslogd/1886 is trying to acquire lock:
(&dev->queue_lock){-+..}, at: [<c11a50b5>] dev_queue_xmit+0x120/0x24b

but task is already holding lock:
(&dev->_xmit_lock){-+..}, at: [<c11a5118>] dev_queue_xmit+0x183/0x24b

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

correct. My latest combo patch has it all included, it's at:

  http://redhat.com/~mingo/lockdep-patches/lockdep-combo-2.6.17-mm4.patch

could you try that one?
