This rarely rises problems because the main caller of this function, register_lock_class(), checks it. But register_lock_class() is not the only function which calls look_up_lock_class(). lock_set_class() and its callees also call it. And lock_set_class() doesn't check this parameter. This will rise problems when the the value of subclass is larger than MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES. Because the address (used as the key of class) caliculated with too large subclass has a probability to point another key in different lock_class_key. Of course this problem depends on the memory layout and occurs with really low probability.
