Hi Rik,

I'm getting the following false positives from lockdep:

The code is:

        for (i = 0; i < nsems; i++) {
                INIT_LIST_HEAD(&sma->sem_base[i].sem_pending);
                spin_lock_init(&sma->sem_base[i].lock);
                spin_lock(&sma->sem_base[i].lock);  <---- here
        }


Thanks,
Sasha
