For +example, a graph to track acquisition order built by lockdep might look +like: + + A -> B - + \ + -> E + / + C -> D - + + where 'A -> B' means that acquisition A is prior to acquisition B + with A still held. + +Lockdep keeps adding each new acquisition order into the graph in +runtime. For example, 'E -> C' will be added when the two locks have +been acquired in the order, E and then C. The graph will look like: + + A -> B - + \ + -> E - + / \ + -> C -> D - \ + / / + \ / + ------------------ + + where 'A -> B' means that acquisition A is prior to acquisition B + with A still held. + +This graph contains a subgraph that demonstrates a loop like: + + -> E - + / \ + -> C -> D - \ + / / + \ / + ------------------ + + where 'A -> B' means that acquisition A is prior to acquisition B + with A still held. + +Lockdep reports it as a deadlock on detection of a loop and stops its +working. + +CONCLUSION + +Lockdep detects a deadlock by checking if a loop has been created after +adding a new acquisition order into the graph. + + +Limitation of lockdep +--------------------- + +Lockdep deals with a deadlock by typical lock e.g. spinlock and mutex, +that are supposed to be released within the acquisition context. However, +when it comes to a deadlock by folio lock that is not supposed to be +released within the acquisition context or other general synchronization +mechanisms, lockdep doesn't work. + +Can lockdep detect the following deadlock? + + context X context Y context Z + + mutex_lock A + folio_lock B + folio_lock B <- DEADLOCK + mutex_lock A <- DEADLOCK + folio_unlock B + folio_unlock B + mutex_unlock A + mutex_unlock A + +No. What about the following? + + context X context Y + + mutex_lock A + mutex_lock A <- DEADLOCK + wait_for_complete B <- DEADLOCK + complete B + mutex_unlock A + mutex_unlock A + +No. + +CONCLUSION + +Lockdep cannot detect a deadlock by folio lock or other general +synchronization mechanisms. + + +What leads a deadlock +--------------------- + +A deadlock occurs when one or multi contexts are waiting for events that +will never happen. For example: + + context X context Y context Z + + | | | + v | | + 1 wait for A v | + . 2 wait for C v + event C . 3 wait for B + event B . + event A + +Event C cannot be triggered because context X is stuck at 1, event B +cannot be triggered because context Y is stuck at 2, and event A cannot +be triggered because context Z is stuck at 3. All the contexts are stuck. +We call this *deadlock*. + +If an event occurrence is a prerequisite to reaching another event, we +call it *dependency*. In this example: + + Event A occurrence is a prerequisite to reaching event C. + Event C occurrence is a prerequisite to reaching event B. + Event B occurrence is a prerequisite to reaching event A. + +In terms of dependency: + + Event C depends on event A. + Event B depends on event C. + Event A depends on event B. + +Dependency graph reflecting this example will look like: + + -> C -> A -> B - + / \ + \ / + ---------------- + + where 'A -> B' means that event A depends on event B. + +A circular dependency exists. Such a circular dependency leads a +deadlock since no waiters can have desired events triggered. + +CONCLUSION + +A circular dependency of events leads a deadlock. + + +Introduce DEPT +-------------- + +DEPT(DEPendency Tracker) tracks wait and event instead of lock +acquisition order so as to recognize the following situation: + + context X context Y context Z + + | | | + v | | + wait for A v | + . wait for C v + event C . wait for B + event B . + event A + +and builds up a dependency graph in runtime that is similar to lockdep. +The graph might look like: + + -> C -> A -> B - + / \ + \ / + ---------------- + + where 'A -> B' means that event A depends on event B. + +DEPT keeps adding each new dependency into the graph in runtime. For +example, 'B -> D' will be added when event D occurrence is a +prerequisite to reaching event B like: + + | + v + wait for D + . + event B + +After the addition, the graph will look like: + + -> D + / + -> C -> A -> B - + / \ + \ / + ---------------- + + where 'A -> B' means that event A depends on event B. + +DEPT is going to report a deadlock on detection of a new loop. + +CONCLUSION + +DEPT works on wait and event so as to theoretically detect all the +potential deadlocks. + + +How DEPT works +-------------- + +Let's take a look how DEPT works with the 1st example in the section +'Limitation of lockdep'. + + context X context Y context Z + + mutex_lock A + folio_lock B + folio_lock B <- DEADLOCK + mutex_lock A <- DEADLOCK + folio_unlock B + folio_unlock B + mutex_unlock A + mutex_unlock A + +Adding comments to describe DEPT's view in terms of wait and event: + + context X context Y context Z + + mutex_lock A + /* wait for A */ + folio_lock B + /* wait for A */ + /* start event A context */ + + folio_lock B + /* wait for B */ <- DEADLOCK + /* start event B context */ + + mutex_lock A + /* wait for A */ <- DEADLOCK + /* start event A context */ + + folio_unlock B + /* event B */ + folio_unlock B + /* event B */ + + mutex_unlock A + /* event A */ + mutex_unlock A + /* event A */ + +Adding more supplementary comments to describe DEPT's view in detail: + + context X context Y context Z + + mutex_lock A + /* might wait for A */ + /* start to take into account event A's context */ + /* 1 */ + folio_lock B + /* might wait for B */ + /* start to take into account event B's context */ + /* 2 */ + + folio_lock B + /* might wait for B */ <- DEADLOCK + /* start to take into account event B's context */ + /* 3 */ + + mutex_lock A + /* might wait for A */ <- DEADLOCK + /* start to take into account + event A's context */ + /* 4 */ + + folio_unlock B + /* event B that's been valid since 2 */ + folio_unlock B + /* event B that's been valid since 3 */ + + mutex_unlock A + /* event A that's been valid since 1 */ + + mutex_unlock A + /* event A that's been valid since 4 */ + +Let's build up dependency graph with this example. Firstly, context X: + + context X + + folio_lock B + /* might wait for B */ + /* start to take into account event B's context */ + /* 2 */ + +There are no events to create dependency. Next, context Y: + + context Y + + mutex_lock A + /* might wait for A */ + /* start to take into account event A's context */ + /* 1 */ + + folio_lock B + /* might wait for B */ + /* start to take into account event B's context */ + /* 3 */ + + folio_unlock B + /* event B that's been valid since 3 */ + + mutex_unlock A + /* event A that's been valid since 1 */ + +There are two events. For event B, folio_unlock B, since there are no +waits between 3 and the event, event B does not create dependency. For +event A, there is a wait, folio_lock B, between 1 and the event. Which +means event A cannot be triggered if event B does not wake up the wait. +Therefore, we can say event A depends on event B, say, 'A -> B'. The +graph will look like after adding the dependency: + + A -> B + + where 'A -> B' means that event A depends on event B. + +Lastly, context Z: + + context Z + + mutex_lock A + /* might wait for A */ + /* start to take into account event A's context */ + /* 4 */ + + folio_unlock B + /* event B that's been valid since 2 */ + + mutex_unlock A + /* event A that's been valid since 4 */ + +There are also two events. For event B, folio_unlock B, there is a +wait, mutex_lock A, between 2 and the event - remind 2 is at a very +start and before the wait in timeline. Which means event B cannot be +triggered if event A does not wake up the wait. Therefore, we can say +event B depends on event A, say, 'B -> A'. The graph will look like +after adding the dependency: + + -> A -> B - + / \ + \ / + ----------- + + where 'A -> B' means that event A depends on event B. + +A new loop has been created. So DEPT can report it as a deadlock. For +event A, mutex_unlock A, since there are no waits between 4 and the +event, event A does not create dependency. That's it. + +CONCLUSION + +DEPT works well with any general synchronization mechanisms by focusing +on wait, event and its context. + + +Interpret DEPT report +--------------------- + +The following is the example in the section 'How DEPT works'. + + context X context Y context Z + + mutex_lock A + /* might wait for A */ + /* start to take into account event A's context */ + /* 1 */ + folio_lock B + /* might wait for B */ + /* start to take into account event B's context */ + /* 2 */ + + folio_lock B + /* might wait for B */ <- DEADLOCK + /* start to take into account event B's context */ + /* 3 */ + + mutex_lock A + /* might wait for A */ <- DEADLOCK + /* start to take into account + event A's context */ + /* 4 */ + + folio_unlock B + /* event B that's been valid since 2 */ + folio_unlock B + /* event B that's been valid since 3 */ + + mutex_unlock A + /* event A that's been valid since 1 */ + + mutex_unlock A + /* event A that's been valid since 4 */ + +We can Simplify this by replacing each waiting point with [W], each +point where its event's context starts with [S] and each event with [E]. +This example will look like after the replacement: + + context X context Y context Z + + [W][S] mutex_lock A + [W][S] folio_lock B + [W][S] folio_lock B <- DEADLOCK + + [W][S] mutex_lock A <- DEADLOCK + [E] folio_unlock B + [E] folio_unlock B + [E] mutex_unlock A + [E] mutex_unlock A + +DEPT uses the symbols [W], [S] and [E] in its report as described above. +The following is an example reported by DEPT for a real problem. + + Link:

with this report. Firstly, context A: + + context A + + [S] lock(&ni->ni_lock:0) + /* start to take into account this context heading for + unlock(&ni->ni_lock:0) */ + /* 2 */ + + [W] folio_wait_bit_common(PG_locked_map:0) (= folio_lock(&f1)) + /* might wait for folio_unlock(&f1) */ + + [E] unlock(&ni->ni_lock:0) + /* event that's been valid since 2 */ + +There is one interesting event, unlock(&ni->ni_lock:0). There is a +wait, folio_lock(&f1), between 2 and the event. Which means +unlock(&ni->ni_lock:0) is not reachable if folio_unlock(&f1) does not +wake up the wait. Therefore, we can say unlock(&ni->ni_lock:0) depends +on folio_unlock(&f1), say, 'unlock(&ni->ni_lock:0) -> folio_unlock(&f1)'. +The graph will look like after adding the dependency: + + unlock(&ni->ni_lock:0) -> folio_unlock(&f1) + + where 'A -> B' means that event A depends on event B. + +Secondly, context B: + + context B + + [W] lock(&ni->ni_lock:0) + /* might wait for unlock(&ni->ni_lock:0) */ + + [E] folio_unlock(&f1) + /* event that's been valid since 1 */ + +There is also one interesting event, folio_unlock(&f1). There is a +wait, lock(&ni->ni_lock:0), between 1 and the event - remind 1 is at a +very start and before the wait in timeline. Which means folio_unlock(&f1) +is not reachable if unlock(&ni->ni_lock:0) does not wake up the wait. +Therefore, we can say folio_unlock(&f1) depends on unlock(&ni->ni_lock:0), +say, 'folio_unlock(&f1) -> unlock(&ni->ni_lock:0)'. The graph will look +like after adding the dependency: + + -> unlock(&ni->ni_lock:0) -> folio_unlock(&f1) - + / \ + \ / + ------------------------------------------------ + + where 'A -> B' means that event A depends on event B. + +A new loop has been created. So DEPT can report it as a deadlock! Cool! + +CONCLUSION + +DEPT works awesome!
