Subject[PATCH 4/7] lockdep: Printk nice description for irq inversion bug
From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

The irq inversion and irq dependency bug are only subtly different.
The diffenerence lies where the interrupt occurred.

For irq dependency:

irq_disable
lock(A)
lock(B)
unlock(B)
unlock(A)
irq_enable

lock(B)
unlock(B)

<interrupt>
lock(A)

The interrupt comes in after it has been established that lock A
can be held when taking an irq unsafe lock. Lockdep detects the problem
when taking lock A in interrupt context.

<interrupt>
lock(A)

irq_disable
lock(A)
lock(B)
unlock(B)
unlock(A)
irq_enable

lock(B)
unlock(B)

With the irq_inversion the irq happens before it is established
and lockdep detects the problem with the taking of lock B.

Since the problem with the locking for both of these issues are
in actuality the same, they both should report the same scenario.

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
&rq->lock --> lockA --> lockC

Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:

CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(lockC);
local_irq_disable();
lock(&rq->lock);
lock(lockA);
<Interrupt>
lock(&rq->lock);

*** DEADLOCK ***
