In mutex_init() lockdep identifies a lock by defining a special static
key for each lock class. However if we wrap the macro in a function,
like in drmm_mutex_init(), we end up generating:
int drmm_mutex_init(struct drm_device *dev, struct mutex *lock)
{
static struct lock_class_key __key;
__mutex_init((lock), "lock", &__key);
....
}
The static __key here is what lockdep uses to identify the lock class,
however since this is just a normal function the key here will be
created once, where all callers then use the same key. In effect the
mutex->depmap.key will be the same pointer for different
drmm_mutex_init() callers. This then results in impossible lockdep
splats since lockdep thinks completely unrelated locks are the same lock
class.
To fix this turn drmm_mutex_init() into a macro such that it generates a
different "static struct lock_class_key __key" for each invocation,
which looks to be inline with what mutex_init() wants.
v2:
- Revamp the commit message with clearer explanation of the issue.
- Rather export __drmm_mutex_release() than static inline.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
