I'd like to prevent recurrence of similar problem, and I wonder if you
can give me a hint.

I can annotate code that can sleep with might_sleep().

How can I annotate code that can not sleep? I might do

spin_lock(&dummy);
this_should_not_sleep();
spin_unlock(&dummy);

But I don't really need extra serialization. I just want annotations for
lockdep. Any ideas?

Pavel
