170 vfree(), etc.), whether a live lock is incorrectly reinitialized via

184 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
185 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
186 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
187 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
188 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
189 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
190 deadlock.
191
192 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
193 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
194
195 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
196 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
197 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
198 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
199 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
200 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
201 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
202 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
203 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
204
205 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
206 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
207 kernel reports nothing.
208
209 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
210 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
211 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
212 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
213 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.
