Subject[RFC tip/locking/lockdep v5 02/17] lockdep: Make __bfs() visit every dependency until a match
Date
Currently, __bfs() will do a breadth-first search in the dependency
graph and visit each lock class in the graph exactly once, so for
example, in the following graph:

A ---------> B
| ^
| |
+----------> C

a __bfs() call starts at A, will visit B through dependency A -> B and
visit C through dependency A -> C and that's it, IOW, __bfs() will not
visit dependency C -> B.

This is OK for now, as we only have strong dependencies in the
dependency graph, so whenever there is a traverse path from A to B in
__bfs(), it means A has strong dependency to B(IOW, B depends on A
strongly). So no need to visit all dependencies in the graph.

However, as we are going to add recursive-read lock into the dependency
graph, afterwards, not all the paths mean strong dependencies, in the
same example above, dependency A -> B may be a weak dependency and
traverse A -> C -> B may be a strong dependency path. And with the old
way of __bfs()(i.e. visiting every lock class exactly once), we will
miss the strong dependency path, which will result into failing to find
a deadlock. To cure this for the future, we need to find a way for
__bfs() to visit each dependency, rather than each class, exactly once
in the search until we find a match.

The solution is simple:

We used to mark lock_class::lockdep_dependency_gen_id to indicate a
class has been visited in __bfs(), now we change the semantics a little
bit: we now mark lock_class::lockdep_dependency_gen_id to indicate _all
the dependencies_ in its lock_{after,before} have been visited in the
__bfs()(note we only take one direction in a __bfs() search). In this
way, every dependency is guaranteed to be visited until we find a match.
