Currently, the chainkey of a lock chain is a hash sum of the class_idx
of all the held locks, the read/write status are not taken in to
consideration while generating the chainkey. This could result into a
problem, if we have:
P1()
{
read_lock(B);
lock(A);
}
P2()
{
lock(A);
read_lock(B);
}
P3()
{
lock(A);
write_lock(B);
}
, and P1(), P2(), P3() run one by one. And when running P2(), lockdep
detects such a lock chain A -> B is not a deadlock, then it's added in
the chain cache, and then when running P3(), even if it's a deadlock, we
could miss it because of the hit of chain cache. This could be confirmed
by self testcase "chain cached mixed R-L/L-W ".
To resolve this, we use concept "hlock_id" to generate the chainkey, the
hlock_id is a tuple (hlock->class_idx, hlock->read), which fits in a u16
type. With this, the chainkeys are different is the lock sequences have
the same locks but different read/write status.
Besides, since we use "hlock_id" to generate chainkeys, the chain_hlocks
array now store the "hlock_id"s rather than lock_class indexes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
