There were two patterns for lockdep_recursion: Pattern-A: if (current->lockdep_recursion) return current->lockdep_recursion = 1; /* do stuff */ current->lockdep_recursion = 0; Pattern-B: current->lockdep_recursion++; /* do stuff */ current->lockdep_recursion--; But a third pattern has emerged: Pattern-C: current->lockdep_recursion = 1; /* do stuff */ current->lockdep_recursion = 0; And while this isn't broken per-se, it is highly dangerous because it doesn't nest properly. Get rid of all Pattern-C instances and shore up Pattern-A with a warning.

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.
