I'm afraid it's not the same as you expect. So yes, lockdep will keep
traces, however, lockdep only keep one trace entry for one usage
*class*, for example, if you have two function foo() and bar():
void foo(void)
{
rcu_read_lock();
...
}
void bar(void)
{
rcu_read_lock();
...
}
, and during runtime, both are called in thread contexts with irq
enabled. There will be only one trace (the first one that lockdep see)
getting recorded ;-(
That said, from the held lock status for this splat, I don't see a
rcu_read_lock_sched() is held, so I guess that the RCU read-side
critical section is introduced by a preempt_disable() rather than a
explicit rcu_read_lock_sched(), if that's the case, lockdep cannot help
either, because after all preempt_disable() is not a lock, lockdep won't
keep a trace for it.
Maybe preemption tracing can help here?
