Hm, then I'm confused because
- there's not mmut notifier lockdep map in the splat at a..
- the patch is supposed to not change anything for fs_reclaim (but the
interim version got that wrong)
- looking at the paths it's kmalloc vs kswapd, both places I totally
expect fs_reflaim to be used.

But you're claiming reverting this prevents the lockdep splat. If
that's right, then my reasoning above is broken somewhere. Someone
less blind than me having an idea?

Aside this is the first email I've typed, until I realized the first
report was against the broken patch and that looked like a much more
reasonable explanation (but didn't quite match up with the code
paths).

Thanks, Daniel
