+
+How lockdep works
+-----------------
+
+Lockdep detects a deadlock by checking lock acquisition order. 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.

+ /* event that's been valid since 1 */
+
+ [E] unlock(&ni->ni_lock:0)
+ /* event that's been valid since 2 */
+
+Let's build up dependency graph 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!
