Ah! Now I understand what you are working around. So the problem is the 
static lock_class_key in the macro?

> What we should do instead is to make sure we have only a single lock for the complete hive instead.
> [Dennis Li] If we use a single lock, users will must wait for all devices resuming successfully, but in fact their tasks are only running in device a. It is not friendly to users.

Well that is intentional I would say. We can only restart submissions 
after all devices are resumed successfully, cause otherwise it can 
happen that a job on device A depends on memory on device B which isn't 
accessible.

>>        For this case, it is safe to use separated lock key. Please see the definition of init_rwsem as the below. Every init_rwsem calling will use a new static key, but devices of  the hive share the same code to do initialization, so their lock_class_key are the same. I think it is a limitation of init_rwsem.  In our case, it should be correct that reset_sem of each adev has different  lock_class_key. BTW, this change doesn't effect dead-lock detection and just correct it.

>>>          For your proposal to remove reset_sem into the hive structure, we can open a new topic to discuss it. Currently we couldn't make sure which is the best solution. For example, with your proposal, we must wait for all devices resuming successfully before resubmit an old task in one device, which will effect performance.
