Subject: [RESEND PATCH 0/11] kernel:lockdep:replace DFS with BFS
Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2009 23:04:35 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1246201486-7308-1-git-send-email-tom.leiming@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,Peter
Currently lockdep uses recursion DFS(depth-first search) algorithm to
search target in checking lock circle(check_noncircular()),irq-safe
-> irq-unsafe(check_irq_usage()) and irq inversion when adding a new
lock dependency. This patches replace the current DFS with BFS, based on
the following consideration:
1,no loss of efficiency, no matter DFS or BFS, the running time
are O(V+E) (V is vertex count, and E is edge count of one
graph);
2,BFS may be easily implemented by circular queue and consumes
much less kernel stack space than DFS for DFS is implemented by
recursion.
3,The shortest path can be obtained by BFS if the target is
found, but can't be got by DFS. By the shortest path, we can
shorten the lock dependency chain and help to troubleshoot lock
problem easier than before.
