[ Upstream commit 7b1f8c6179769af6ffa055e1169610b51d71edd5 ] In the step #3 of check_irq_usage(), we seach backwards to find a lock whose usage conflicts the usage of @target_entry1 on safe/unsafe. However, we should only keep the irq-unsafe usage of @target_entry1 into consideration, because it could be a case where a lock is hardirq-unsafe but soft-safe, and in check_irq_usage() we find it because its hardirq-unsafe could result into a hardirq-safe-unsafe deadlock, but currently since we don't filter out the other usage bits, so we may find a lock dependency path softirq-unsafe -> softirq-safe, which in fact doesn't cause a deadlock. And this may cause misleading lockdep splats. Fix this by only keeping LOCKF_ENABLED_IRQ_ALL bits when we try the backwards search.

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.
