I'm afraid that lockdep still is unhappy. With v2 there is a new
(different) lockdep warning.

In case you don't know, lockdep disables itself after catching
the first problem, to avoid spamming the logs too much.
So the previous issue was masking this one (or it could be new):

I did not get around to testing your fixup-diff before you send
out v2 last time.

If you can send me another fixup-diff then I'll make sure to
test this before you do a v3, so that we can be sure that
all cases which my setup catches are resolved before sending
out v3.

Regards,

Hans
