My concern is that de_thread fix might be too disruptive for stable kernels while we might want to have a simple enough fix for the the suspend issue in the meantime. That was actually the primary reason I've acked the hack even though I didn't like it. So can we find a way to shut the lockdep up when this is not really a deadlock? Or maybe this really is one and then we need a real fix for stable as well. -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs
