[ Upstream commitb3b9c187dc] There are currently three counters to track the IRQ context of a lock chain - nr_hardirq_chains, nr_softirq_chains and nr_process_chains. They are incremented when a new lock chain is added, but they are not decremented when a lock chain is removed. That causes some of the statistic counts reported by /proc/lockdep_stats to be incorrect. IRQ Fix that by decrementing the right counter when a lock chain is removed. Since inc_chains() no longer accesses hardirq_context and softirq_context directly, it is moved out from the CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS conditional compilation block.

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.
