Please try this patch. ---8<--- Subject: netlink: Annotate nlk cb_mutex by protocol Currently all occurences of nlk->cb_mutex are annotated by lockdep as a single class. This causes a false lcokdep cycle involving genl and crypto_user. This patch fixes it by dividing cb_mutex into individual classes based on the netlink protocol. As genl and crypto_user do not use the same netlink protocol this breaks the false dependency loop.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
