Thanks for responding. But is this bug really unfixable?

Please see the following result.

----------------------------------------

----------------------------------------

We can confirm that the "(wq_completion)loop0" entry disappears when WQ for /dev/loop0 is destroyed.

Then, please see the following reproducer for this lockdep problem. As you can see, there is 10
seconds between lockdep complained and /proc/lockdep is read. 10 seconds should be enough time
for erasing the "(wq_completion)loop0" entry.

----------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <linux/loop.h>
#include <sys/sendfile.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
const int file_fd = open("testfile", O_RDWR | O_CREAT, 0600);
ftruncate(file_fd, 1048576);
char filename[128] = { };
const int loop_num = ioctl(open("/dev/loop-control", 3), LOOP_CTL_GET_FREE, 0);
snprintf(filename, sizeof(filename) - 1, "/dev/loop%d", loop_num);
const int loop_fd_1 = open(filename, O_RDWR);
ioctl(loop_fd_1, LOOP_SET_FD, file_fd);
const int loop_fd_2 = open(filename, O_RDWR);
ioctl(loop_fd_1, LOOP_CLR_FD, 0);
const int sysfs_fd = open("/sys/power/resume", O_RDWR);
sendfile(file_fd, sysfs_fd, 0, 1048576);
sendfile(loop_fd_2, file_fd, 0, 1048576);
write(sysfs_fd, "700", 3);
system("/bin/cat /proc/lockdep > /tmp/lockdep-before-splat"); // Save before "zap on release" forgets the dependency.
close(loop_fd_2);
close(loop_fd_1); // Lockdep complains the circular dependency and turns off.
close(file_fd);
sleep(10);
system("/bin/cat /proc/lockdep > /tmp/lockdep-after-splat"); // Save after "zap on release" forgot the dependency.
return 0;
}
----------------------------------------

If we compare the content of /proc/lockdep before and after, we can confirm that
the "(wq_completion)loop0" entry does not disappear even after loop device was
destroyed. (The 'k' is POISON_FREE read out as a string.)

----------------------------------------

----------------------------------------

Isn't this a bug that lockdep stopped erasing the dependency chain because
lockdep was already turned off before start reading /proc/lockdep ?



By the way, this "zap on destroy" behavior made it difficult to find a reproducer
because "at least once during the lifetime of the kernel" part of

The validator achieves perfect, mathematical 'closure' (proof of locking
correctness) in the sense that for every simple, standalone single-task
locking sequence that occurred at least once during the lifetime of the
kernel, the validator proves it with a 100% certainty that no
combination and timing of these locking sequences can cause any class of
lock related deadlock. [*]

in Documentation/locking/lockdep-design.txt became no longer applicable?
