Currently, functions like synchronize_srcu() do not have lockdep
annotations resembling those of other write-side locking primitives.
Such annotations might look as follows:
lock_acquire();
lock_release();
Such annotations would tell lockdep that synchronize_srcu() acts like
an empty critical section that waits for other (read-side) critical
sections to finish. This would definitely catch some deadlock, but
as pointed out by Paul Mckenney [1], this could also introduce false
positives because of irq-safe/unsafe detection. Of course, there are
tricks could help with this:
might_sleep(); // Existing statement in __synchronize_srcu().
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING)) {
local_irq_disable();
lock_acquire();
lock_release();
local_irq_enable();
}
But it would be better for lockdep to provide a separate annonation for
functions like synchronize_srcu(), so that people won't need to repeat
the ugly tricks above.
Therefore introduce lock_sync(), which is simply an lock+unlock
pair with no irq safe/unsafe deadlock check. This works because the
to-be-annontated functions do not create real critical sections, and
there is therefore no way that irq can create extra dependencies.
