[PATCH v4 22/24] dept: Don't create dependencies between different depths in any case

From: Byungchul Park
Date: Fri Mar 04 2022 - 02:08:57 EST


Dept already prevents creating dependencies between different depths of
the class indicated by *_lock_nested() when the lock acquisitions happen
consecutively.

lock A0 with depth
lock_nested A1 with depth + 1
...
unlock A1
unlock A0

Dept does not create A0 -> A1 dependency in this case, either.

However, once another class cut in, the code becomes problematic. When
Dept tries to create real dependencies, it does not only create real
ones but also wrong ones between different depths of the class.

lock A0 with depth
lock B
lock_nested A1 with depth + 1
...
unlock A1
unlock B
unlock A0

Even in this case, Dept should not create A0 -> A1 dependency.

So let Dept not create wrong dependencies between different depths of
the class in any case.
