hm, there's a recent API addition to lockdep that should help with this:
have you looked into the patch below, could it be used to solve the XFS
problem? Basically when you are one step deeper into a recursive locking
scenario you can use lock_set_subclass() on the held lock to reset it
one level higher.
this preserves lockdep checking but allows arbitrary deep locking.

Subject: [patch] lockdep: lock_set_subclass - reset a held lock's subclass
From: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]>
this can be used to reset a held lock's subclass, for arbitrary-depth
iterated data structures such as trees or lists which have per-node
locks.
