SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] writeback: safer lock nesting
Hi Greg,

Thank you for the patch! Perhaps something to improve:

[auto build test WARNING on linus/master]
[also build test WARNING on v4.16]
[cannot apply to next-20180406]
[if your patch is applied to the wrong git tree, please drop us a note to help improve the system]

url: https://github.com/0day-ci/linux/commits/Greg-Thelen/writeback-safer-lock-nesting/20180407-122200
config: mips-db1xxx_defconfig (attached as .config)
compiler: mipsel-linux-gnu-gcc (Debian 7.2.0-11) 7.2.0
reproduce:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/intel/lkp-tests/master/sbin/make.cross -O ~/bin/make.cross
chmod +x ~/bin/make.cross
# save the attached .config to linux build tree
make.cross ARCH=mips

Note: it may well be a FALSE warning. FWIW you are at least aware of it now.
