[PATCH 0/4] Lockdep: Reduce stack trace memory usage

[Bart Van Assche]

Hi Peter,

An unfortunate side effect of commit 669de8bda87b ("kernel/workqueue: Use
dynamic lockdep keys for workqueues") is that all stack traces associated
with the lockdep key are leaked when a workqueue is destroyed. Fix this by
storing each unique stack trace once. Please consider this patch series
for Linux kernel v5.4.

Thanks,

Bart.
