When CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is enabled the 'struct device' definition gets an additional mutex that is not clobbered by lockdep_set_novalidate_class() like the typical device_lock(). This allows for local annotation of subsystem locks with mutex_lock_nested() per the subsystem's object/lock hierarchy. For CXL, this primarily needs the ability to lock ports by depth and child objects of ports by their parent parent-port lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
