Lock scenario print is always a weak spot of lockdep splats. Improvement can be made if we rework the dependency search and the error printing. However without touching the graph search, we can improve a little for the circular deadlock case, since we have the to-be-added lock dependency, and know whether these two locks are read/write/sync. In order to know whether a held_lock is sync or not, a bit was "stolen" from ->references, which reduce our limit for the same lock class nesting from 2^12 to 2^11, and it should still be good enough. Besides, since we now have bit in held_lock for sync, we don't need the "hardirqoffs being 1" trick, and also we can avoid the __lock_release() if we jump out of __lock_acquire() before the held_lock stored. With these changes, a deadlock case evolved with read lock and sync gets a better print-out from: [...] Possible unsafe locking scenario: [...] [...] CPU0 CPU1 [...] ---- ---- [...] lock(srcuA); [...] lock(srcuB); [...] lock(srcuA); [...] lock(srcuB); to [...] Possible unsafe locking scenario: [...] [...] CPU0 CPU1 [...] ---- ---- [...] rlock(srcuA); [...] lock(srcuB); [...] lock(srcuA); [...] sync(srcuB); Signed-off-by: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

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.
