Subject[RFC tip/locking v2 05/13] lockdep: Extend __bfs() to work with multiple kinds of dependencies
Date
Now we have four kinds of dependencies in the dependency graph, and not
all the pathes carry strong dependencies, for example:

Given lock A, B, C, if we have:

CPU1 CPU2
============= ==============
write_lock(A); read_lock(B);
read_lock(B); write_lock(C);

then we have dependencies A--(NR)-->B, and B-->(RN)-->C, (NR and
RN to indicate the dependency kind), A actually doesn't have
strong dependency to C(IOW, C doesn't depend on A), to see this,
let's say we have a third CPU3 doing:

CPU3:
=============
write_lock(C);
write_lock(A);

, this is not a deadlock. However if we change the read_lock()
on CPU2 to a write_lock(), it's a deadlock then.

So A-->(NR)-->B-->(RN)-->C is not a strong dependency but
A-->(NR)--B-->(NN)-->C is a strong dependency.

We can generalize this as: If a path of dependencies doesn't have two
adjacent dependencies as (*R)--L-->(R*), where L is some lock, it is a
strong dependency path, otherwise it's not.

Now our mission is to make __bfs() traverse only the strong dependency
paths, which is simple: we record whether we have --(*R)--> at the
current tail of the path in lock_list::is_rr, and whenever we pick a
dependency in the traverse, we 1) make sure we don't pick a --(R*)-->
dependency if our current tail is --(*R)--> and 2) greedily pick a
--(*N)--> as hard as possible.

With this extension for __bfs(), we now only need to initialize the root
of __bfs() properly(with a correct ->is_rr), to do so, we introduce some
helper functions, which also cleans up a little bit for the __bfs() root
initialization code.
