I'm not sure but, with LOCKDEP_COMPLETE enabled, this issue would automatically be covered w/o additional A(work)/R(work). Right?
A(work)/R(work) seem to be used for preventing wait_for_completion() in flush_work() from waiting for the completion forever because of the work using mutex_lock(&A). Am I understanding correctly?
If yes, we can use just LOCKDEP_COMPLETE for that purpose.
