From a43f085f8720c4f705b86e7432d19ef955750b36 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Ogness Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2020 17:23:17 +0206 Subject: [PATCH] block: remove unnecessary ioc nested locking The legacy CFQ IO scheduler could call put_io_context() in its exit_icq() elevator callback. This led to a lockdep warning, which was fixed in commit d8c66c5d5924 ("block: fix lockdep warning on io_context release put_io_context()") by using a nested subclass for the ioc spinlock. However, with commit f382fb0bcef4 ("block: remove legacy IO schedulers") the CFQ IO scheduler no longer exists. The BFQ IO scheduler also implements the exit_icq() elevator callback but does not call put_io_context(). The nested subclass for the ioc spinlock is no longer needed. Since it existed as an exception and no longer applies, remove the nested subclass usage.
