Subject[PATCH 4.4 38/56] ALSA: seq: Avoid invalid lockdep class warning
Date
4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

commit 3510c7aa069aa83a2de6dab2b41401a198317bdc upstream.

The recent fix for adding rwsem nesting annotation was using the given
"hop" argument as the lock subclass key. Although the idea itself
works, it may trigger a kernel warning like:
BUG: looking up invalid subclass: 8
....
since the lockdep has a smaller number of subclasses (8) than we
currently allow for the hops there (10).

The current definition is merely a sanity check for avoiding the too
deep delivery paths, and the 8 hops are already enough. So, as a
quick fix, just follow the max hops as same as the max lockdep
subclasses.
