[PATCH v16 18/42] dept: track timeout waits separately with a new Kconfig
Byungchul Park

Mon May 19 09:18:02 UTC 2025
Waits with valid timeouts don't actually cause deadlocks. However, dept
has been reporting the cases as well because it's worth informing the
circular dependency for some cases where, for example, timeout is used
to avoid a deadlock.
However, yes, there are also a lot of, even more, cases where timeout
is used for its clear purpose and meant to be expired.
Report these as an information rather than warning DEADLOCK. Plus,
introduce CONFIG_DEPT_AGGRESSIVE_TIMEOUT_WAIT Kconfig to make it
optional so that any reports involving waits with timeouts can be turned
on/off depending on the purpose.
