Boqun Feng 68e3056785 lockdep: Adjust check_redundant() for recursive read change
check_redundant() will report redundancy if it finds a path could
replace the about-to-add dependency in the BFS search. With recursive
read lock changes, we certainly need to change the match function for
the check_redundant(), because the path needs to match not only the lock
class but also the dependency kinds. For example, if the about-to-add
dependency @prev -> @next is A -(SN)-> B, and we find a path A -(S*)->
.. -(*R)->B in the dependency graph with __bfs() (for simplicity, we can
also say we find an -(SR)-> path from A to B), we can not replace the
dependency with that path in the BFS search. Because the -(SN)->
dependency can make a strong path with a following -(S*)-> dependency,
however an -(SR)-> path cannot.

Further, we can replace an -(SN)-> dependency with a -(EN)-> path, that
means if we find a path which is stronger than or equal to the
about-to-add dependency, we can report the redundancy. By "stronger", it
means both the start and the end of the path are not weaker than the
start and the end of the dependency (E is "stronger" than S and N is
"stronger" than R), so that we can replace the dependency with that
path.

To make sure we find a path whose start point is not weaker than the
about-to-add dependency, we use a trick: the ->only_xr of the root
(start point) of __bfs() is initialized as @prev-> == 0, therefore if
@prev is E, __bfs() will pick only -(E*)-> for the first dependency,
otherwise, __bfs() can pick -(E*)-> or -(S*)-> for the first dependency.

To make sure we find a path whose end point is not weaker than the
about-to-add dependency, we replace the match function for __bfs()
check_redundant(), we check for the case that either @next is R
(anything is not weaker than it) or the end point of the path is N
(which is not weaker than anything).

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.
