From 3d709ab5a1767d422223e84cf5c20f0d33738274 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2018 10:49:10 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch.pl: Suggest lockdep instead of asserting !spin_is_locked() This commit points people who might otherwise code up something like WARN_ON(!spin_is_locked(&mylock)) to lockdep_assert_held(&mylock).
