ath10k_drain_tx() must not be called with conf_mutex held as workers can
use that also. Add check to detect conf_mutex held calls.

The commit log does not answer to "Why?". How did you find this? What
actual problem are you trying to solve?

Empty line after WARN_ON().

Shouldn't this check debug_locks similarly lockdep_assert_held() does?

#define lockdep_assert_held(l)	do {				\
		WARN_ON(debug_locks && !lockdep_is_held(l));	\
	} while (0)

And I suspect you need #ifdef CONFIG_LOCKDEP which should fix the kbuild
bot error.

But honestly I would prefer to have lockdep_assert_not_held() in
include/linux/lockdep.h, much cleaner that way. Also
i915_gem_object_lookup_rcu() could then use the same macro.

Ok, makes sense. I prefer having this background info in the commit log,
for example "found by code review" or something like that. Or just copy
what you wrote above :)

Great, thank you. The only problem is that lockdep.h changes have to go
via some other tree, I just don't know which :) I think it would be
easiest if also the ath10k patch goes via that other tree, I can ack the
ath10k changes.

Another option is that I'll apply the ath10k patch after the lockdep.h
change has trickled down to my tree, but that usually happens only after
the merge window and means weeks of waiting. Either is fine for me.

Thanks. I will do that.

I looked at i915_gem_object_lookup_rcu(). The following can be replaced
by lockdep_assert_held().

#ifdef CONFIG_LOCKDEP
         WARN_ON(debug_locks && !lock_is_held(&rcu_lock_map));
#endif

I will send the include/linux/lockdep.h and ath10k patch together and
we will take it from there.
