Recursive locking for ww_mutexes was originally conceived as an exception. However, it is heavily used by the DRM atomic modesetting code. Currently, the recursive deadlock is checked after we have queued up for a busy-spin and as we never release the lock, we spin until kicked, whereupon the deadlock is discovered and reported.
A simple solution for the now common problem is to move the recursive deadlock discovery to the first action when taking the ww_mutex.
