[RFC tip/locking v2 06/13] lockdep: Adjust check_redundant() for recursive read change

From: Boqun Feng
Date: Wed Sep 06 2017 - 04:32:25 EST


As we have four kinds of dependencies now, check_redundant() should only
report redundant if we have a dependency path which is equal or
_stronger_ than the current dependency. For example if check_prev_add()
we have:

prev->read == 2 && next->read != 2

, we should only report redundant if we find a path like:

prev--(RN)-->....--(*N)-->next

and if we have:

prev->read == 2 && next->read == 2

, we could report redundant if we find a path like:

prev--(RN)-->....--(*N)-->next

or

prev--(RN)-->....--(*R)-->next

To do so, we need to pass the recursive-read status of next into
check_redundant(). This patch changes the parameter of check_redundant()
and the match function to achieve this.
