    SubjectRe: [PATCH 0/3] Suppress false positives triggered by workqueue lockdep annotations
    From
    Date
    Hi Bart,

    I tried my best to explain why they're not false positives as far as
    lockdep is concerned, so I'd appreciate if you could address *why* you
    actually think they are such.

    I can understand that they are false positives as far as the code
    *causing* this is concerned, but this isn't how lockdep works. It
    generally tracks any dependency between "locks" (timers also, btw.) at
    any time, to later be able to find issues.

    This, however, should be solved at the places that actually show the
    problem, not by making the lockdep annotations less powerful.
