This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
|
||||
that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
|
||||
correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
|
||||
not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
|
||||
sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
|
||||
arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
|
||||
deadlock.
|
||||
|
||||
In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
|
||||
related deadlocks before they actually occur.
|
||||
|
||||
The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
|
||||
deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
|
||||
participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
|
||||
for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
|
||||
timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
|
||||
theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
|
||||
is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
|
||||
reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
|
||||
makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
|
||||
|
||||
If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
|
||||
observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
|
||||
kernel reports nothing.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
|
||||
and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
|
||||
different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
|
||||
the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
|
||||
arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.
