From e5e78d08f3ab3094783b8df08a5b6d1d1a56a58f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2011 20:24:16 -0400 Subject: lockdep: Show subclass in pretty print of lockdep output The pretty print of the lockdep debug splat uses just the lock name to show how the locking scenario happens. But when it comes to nesting locks, the output becomes confusing which takes away the point of the pretty printing of the lock scenario. Without displaying the subclass info, we get the following output: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(slock-AF_INET); lock(slock-AF_INET); lock(slock-AF_INET); lock(slock-AF_INET); *** DEADLOCK *** The above looks more of a A->A locking bug than a A->B B->A. By adding the subclass to the output, we can see what really happened: other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(slock-AF_INET); lock(slock-AF_INET/1); lock(slock-AF_INET); lock(slock-AF_INET/1); *** DEADLOCK *** This bug was discovered while tracking down a real bug caught by lockdep.
