rcu: Annotate SRCU's update-side lockdep dependencies
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Although all flavors of RCU readers are annotated correctly with
lockdep as recursive read locks, they do not set the lock_acquire
'check' parameter.  This means that RCU read locks are not added to
the lockdep dependency graph, which in turn means that lockdep cannot
detect RCU-based deadlocks.  This is not a problem for RCU flavors having
atomic read-side critical sections because context-based annotations can
catch these deadlocks, see for example the RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() statement
in synchronize_rcu().  But context-based annotations are not helpful
for sleepable RCU, especially given that it is perfectly legal to do
synchronize_srcu(&srcu1) within an srcu_read_lock(&srcu2).

However, we can detect SRCU-based by: (1) Making srcu_read_lock() a
'check'ed recursive read lock and (2) Making synchronize_srcu() a empty
write lock critical section.  Even better, with the newly introduced
lock_sync(), we can avoid false positives about irq-unsafe/safe.
This commit therefore makes it so.

Note that NMI-safe SRCU read side critical sections are currently not
annotated, but might be annotated in the future.
