A regular xa_init_flags() put all dynamically-initialised XArrays into the same locking class. That leads to lockdep believing that taking one XArray lock while holding another is a deadlock. It's possible to work around some of these situations with separate locking classes for irq/bh/regular XArrays, and SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING, but that's ugly, and it doesn't work for all situations (where we have completely unrelated XArrays).

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.
