So, even though the part of the lockdep report about nesting with a SCSI host lock was a false positive, it did motivate Clemens' del_timer_sync -> del_timer replacement, so it was helpful after all. I guess there is no immediate need anymore to do something about the conflation of shost->host_lock instances. -- Stefan Richter -=====-==-=- =--- =--=- http://arcgraph.de/sr/
