This patch add the documentation piece for the reasoning of deadlock detection related to recursive read lock. The following sections are added: * Explain what is a recursive read lock, and what deadlock cases they could introduce. * Introduce the notations for different types of dependencies, and the definition of strong paths. * Proof for a closed strong path is both sufficient and necessary for deadlock detections with recursive read locks involved. The proof could also explain why we call the path "strong" Signed-off-by: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200807074238.1632519-3-boqun.feng@gmail.com |
