Looks good to me.
For one thing, I do think that LOCK_READ_USED trace is helpful for
better reporting, because if there is a read lock in the dependency path
which causes the deadlock, it's better to have the LOCK_READ_USED trace
to know at least the initial READ usage. For example, if we have
void f1(...)
{
write_lock(&A);
spin_lock(&C);
// A -> C
...
}
void g(...)
{
read_lock(&A);
...
}
void f2(...)
{
spin_lock(&B);
g(...);
// B -> A
}
void f3(...) {
spin_lock(&C);
spin_lock(&B);
// C -> B, trigger lockdep splat
}
when lockdep reports the deadlock (at the time f3() is called), it will
be useful if we have a trace like:
INITIAL READ usage at:
g+0x.../0x...
f2+0x.../0x...
Thoughts?
