From b09be676e0ff25bd6d2e7637e26d349f9109ad75 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Byungchul Park Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2017 16:12:52 +0900 Subject: locking/lockdep: Implement the 'crossrelease' feature Lockdep is a runtime locking correctness validator that detects and reports a deadlock or its possibility by checking dependencies between locks. It's useful since it does not report just an actual deadlock but also the possibility of a deadlock that has not actually happened yet. That enables problems to be fixed before they affect real systems. However, this facility is only applicable to typical locks, such as spinlocks and mutexes, which are normally released within the context in which they were acquired. However, synchronization primitives like page locks or completions, which are allowed to be released in any context, also create dependencies and can cause a deadlock. So lockdep should track these locks to do a better job. The 'crossrelease' implementation makes these primitives also be tracked.
