[PATCH v2 00/24] locking/lockdep: Add support for dynamic keys

From: Bart Van Assche
Date: Mon Dec 03 2018 - 19:29:30 EST


Hi Ingo and Peter,

A known shortcoming of the current lockdep implementation is that it requires
lock keys to be allocated statically. This forces certain unrelated
synchronization objects to share keys and this key sharing can cause false
positive deadlock reports. This patch series adds support for dynamic keys in
the lockdep code and eliminates a class of false positive reports from the
workqueue implementation.

The changes compared to v1 are:
- Addressed Peter's review comments: remove the list_head that I had added
to struct lock_list again, replaced all_list_entries and free_list_entries
by two bitmaps, use call_rcu() to free lockdep objects, add a BUILD_BUG_ON()
that compares the size of struct lock_class_key and raw_spin_lock_t.
- Addressed the "unknown symbol" errors reported by the build bot by adding a
few #ifdef / #endif directives. Addressed the 32-bit warnings by using %d
instead of %ld for array indices and by casting the array indices to
unsigned int.
- Removed several WARN_ON_ONCE(!class->hash_entry.pprev) statements since
these duplicate the code in check_data_structures().
- Left out the patch that causes lockdep to complain if no name has been
assigned to a lock object. That patch namely causes the build bot to
complain about certain lock objects but I have not yet had the time to
figure out the identity of these lock objects.

Bart.
