btw, I was looking at this change:
diff -puN drivers/scsi/libata-core.c~lock-validator-locking-init-debugging-improvement drivers/scsi/libata-core.c --- a/drivers/scsi/libata-core.c~lock-validator-locking-init-debugging-improvement +++ a/drivers/scsi/libata-core.c @@ -1003,6 +1003,7 @@ unsigned ata_exec_internal(struct ata_de unsigned int err_mask; int rc; + init_completion(&wait); spin_lock_irqsave(ap->lock, flags); /* no internal command while frozen */ That local was already initialised with DEFINE_WAIT(). Am surprised that an init_wait() also was needed?
