From 419ca3f13532793b81aff09f80c60af3eacbb43d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Miller Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2008 21:45:03 -0700 Subject: lockdep: fix combinatorial explosion in lock subgraph traversal When we traverse the graph, either forwards or backwards, we are interested in whether a certain property exists somewhere in a node reachable in the graph. Therefore it is never necessary to traverse through a node more than once to get a correct answer to the given query. Take advantage of this property using a global ID counter so that we need not clear all the markers in all the lock_class entries before doing a traversal. A new ID is choosen when we start to traverse, and we continue through a lock_class only if it's ID hasn't been marked with the new value yet. This short-circuiting is essential especially for high CPU count systems. The scheduler has a runqueue per cpu, and needs to take two runqueue locks at a time, which leads to long chains of backwards and forwards subgraphs from these runqueue lock nodes. Without the short-circuit implemented here, a graph traversal on a runqueue lock can take up to (1 << (N - 1)) checks on a system with N cpus. For anything more than 16 cpus or so, lockdep will eventually bring the machine to a complete standstill. Signed-off-by: David S.
