Although all flavors of RCU readers are annotated correctly with lockdep as recursive read locks, they do not set the lock_acquire 'check' parameter. This means that RCU read locks are not added to the lockdep dependency graph, which in turn means that lockdep cannot detect RCU-based deadlocks. This is not a problem for RCU flavors having atomic read-side critical sections because context-based annotations can catch these deadlocks, see for example the RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() statement in synchronize_rcu(). But context-based annotations are not helpful for sleepable RCU, especially given that it is perfectly legal to do synchronize_srcu(&srcu1) within an srcu_read_lock(&srcu2). However, we can detect SRCU-based by: (1) Making srcu_read_lock() a 'check'ed recursive read lock and (2) Making synchronize_srcu() a empty write lock critical section. Even better, with the newly introduced lock_sync(), we can avoid false positives about irq-unsafe/safe. This commit therefore makes it so. Note that NMI-safe SRCU read side critical sections are currently not annotated, but might be annotated in the future. Signed-off-by: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
