[PATCH v2 1/3] locking/lockdep: Unlikely bfs_error() inside

From: Xiongwei Song
Date: Fri Jun 18 2021 - 10:56:02 EST


From: Xiongwei Song <sxwjean@xxxxxxxxx>

The error from graph walk is small probability event, and there are some
bfs_error calls during lockdep detection, so unlikely bfs_error inside
can improve performance a little bit.
