Revision f1aaee53f2877a7afa55e8245c241ff60a86367d authored by Arjan van de Ven on 13 July 2006, 12:46:03 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 13 July 2006, 19:02:44 UTC
mm/slab.c uses nested locking when dealing with 'off-slab' caches, in that case it allocates the slab header from the (on-slab) kmalloc caches. Teach the lock validator about this by putting all on-slab caches into a separate class. this patch has no effect on non-lockdep kernels.

What is an IRQ?
An IRQ is an interrupt request from a device.
Currently they can come in over a pin, or over a packet.
Several devices may be connected to the same pin thus
sharing an IRQ.
An IRQ number is a kernel identifier used to talk about a hardware
interrupt source. Typically this is an index into the global irq_desc
array, but except for what linux/interrupt.h implements the details
are architecture specific.
An IRQ number is an enumeration of the possible interrupt sources on a
machine. Typically what is enumerated is the number of input pins on
all of the interrupt controller in the system. In the case of ISA
what is enumerated are the 16 input pins on the two i8259 interrupt
controllers.
Architectures can assign additional meaning to the IRQ numbers, and
are encouraged to in the case where there is any manual configuration
of the hardware involved. The ISA IRQs are a classic example of
assigning this kind of additional meaning.
