Yes, you are right. I should've asked you to resend the AA deadlock
report when I found [W]'s stacktrace was missed in what you shared and
should've taken a look at it more.
Dept normally doesn't report this type of AA deadlock. But it does
when the case happens, that we are talking about, say, another lock
class cut in between the nesting locks. I will fix it. The AA deadlock
report here doesn't make sense. Thank you.
However, the other report below still makes sense.

So.. do you think the below is also okay? Because lock C and lock B are
under control?
context X context Y
lock mutex A lock mutex A
lock B lock C
lock C lock B
unlock C unlock B
unlock B unlock C
unlock mutex A unlock mutex A
In my opinion, lock B and lock C are unnecessary if they are always
along with lock mutex A. Or we should keep correct lock order across all
the code.

You seem to insist that locking order is not important *if* they are
under control by serializing the sections. I meant this is another issue.

1) will be fixed so that Dept doesn't report it. But I still think the
case 2) should be reported for the wrong usage.
