[ Upstream commit d5b0e0677bfd5efd17c5bbb00156931f0d41cb85 ]
Jakub reported that:
static struct net_device *rtl8139_init_board(struct pci_dev *pdev)
{
...
u64_stats_init(&tp->rx_stats.syncp);
u64_stats_init(&tp->tx_stats.syncp);
...
}
results in lockdep getting confused between the RX and TX stats lock.
This is because u64_stats_init() is an inline calling seqcount_init(),
which is a macro using a static variable to generate a lockdep class.
By wrapping that in an inline, we negate the effect of the macro and
fold the static key variable, hence the confusion.
Fix by also making u64_stats_init() a macro for the case where it
matters, leaving the other case an inline for argument validation
etc.

README
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.
