Subject: [PATCH 2/5] locking/lockdep: Eliminate redundant irqs check in __lock_acquire()
Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2018 13:53:18 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1538157201-29173-3-git-send-email-longman@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1538157201-29173-1-git-send-email-longman@redhat.com>

The static __lock_acquire() function has only two callers:

 1) lock_acquire()
 2) reacquire_held_locks()

In lock_acquire(), raw_local_irq_save() is called before hand. So
irqs must have been disabled. So the check

	DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(!irqs_disabled())

is kind of redundant in thise case. So move the above check
to reacquire_held_locks() to eliminate redundant code in the
lock_acquire path.
