slab, lockdep: Annotate slab -> rcu -> debug_object -> slab
Lockdep thinks there's lock recursion through: kmem_cache_free() cache_flusharray() spin_lock(&l3->list_lock) <----------------. free_block() | slab_destroy() | call_rcu() | debug_object_activate() | debug_object_init() | __debug_object_init() | kmem_cache_alloc() | cache_alloc_refill() | spin_lock(&l3->list_lock) --' Now debug objects doesn't use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and hence there is no actual possibility of recursing. Luckily debug objects marks it slab with SLAB_DEBUG_OBJECTS so we can identify the thing. Mark all SLAB_DEBUG_OBJECTS (all one!) slab caches with a special lockdep key so that lockdep sees its a different cachep. Also add a WARN on trying to create a SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU | SLAB_DEBUG_OBJECTS cache, to avoid possible future trouble.
