If kernel is compiled with CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING the validator raises an error when a multiplexer is removed via sysfs and sub-clients are connected to it. This is a false positive. Documentation/lockdep-design.txt recommends to handle this via calls to mutex_lock_nested(). Based on an earlier fix from Michael Lawnick. Note that the extra code resolves to nothing unless CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Cc: Michael Lawnick <ml.lawnick@gmx.de>
