Subject: [PATCH] lockdep: Print proper scenario if cross deadlock detected at acquisition time
Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2017 20:52:06 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170919125218.17802-1-boqun.feng@gmail.com> (raw)

For a potential deadlock about CROSSRELEASE as follow:

	P1		P2
	===========	=============
	lock(A)
	lock(X)
			lock(A)
			commit(X)

	A: normal lock, X: cross lock

, we could detect it at two places:

1. commit time:

	We have run P1 first, and have dependency A --> X in graph, and
	then we run P2, and find the deadlock.

2. acquisition time:

	We have run P2 first, and have dependency X --> A, in
	graph(because another P3 may run previously and is acquiring for
	lock X), and then we run P1 and find the deadlock.

In current print_circular_lock_scenario(), for 1) we could print the
right scenario and note that's a deadlock related to CROSSRELEASE,
however for 2) we print the scenario as a normal lockdep deadlock,
instead we print something like:

| [   35.310179] ======================================================

| [   35.313943]                                lock(sparse_irq_lock);

| [   35.313943] 
| [   35.313943]  *** DEADLOCK ***

It's better to print a proper scenario related to CROSSRELEASE to help
users find their bugs more easily, so improve this.
