The ww_acquire_ctx structure for ww_mutex needs to persist for a complete lock/unlock cycle. In the ww_mutex test in locktorture, however, both ww_acquire_init() and ww_acquire_fini() are called within the lock function only. This causes a lockdep splat of "WARNING: Nested lock was not taken" when lockdep is enabled in the kernel. To fix this problem, we need to move the ww_acquire_fini() after the ww_mutex_unlock() in torture_ww_mutex_unlock(). This is done by allocating a global array of ww_acquire_ctx structures. Each locking thread is associated with its own ww_acquire_ctx via the unique thread id it has so that both the lock and unlock functions can access the same ww_acquire_ctx structure.

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.
