To add recursive read locks into the dependency graph, we need to store the types of dependencies for the BFS later. There are four types of dependencies: * Exclusive -> Non-recursive dependencies: EN e.g. write_lock(prev) held and try to acquire write_lock(next) or non-recursive read_lock(next), which can be represented as "prev -(EN)-> next" * Shared -> Non-recursive dependencies: SN e.g. read_lock(prev) held and try to acquire write_lock(next) or non-recursive read_lock(next), which can be represented as "prev -(SN)-> next" * Exclusive -> Recursive dependencies: ER e.g. write_lock(prev) held and try to acquire recursive read_lock(next), which can be represented as "prev -(ER)-> next" * Shared -> Recursive dependencies: SR e.g. read_lock(prev) held and try to acquire recursive read_lock(next), which can be represented as "prev -(SR)-> next" So we use 4 bits for the presence of each type in lock_list::dep. Helper functions and macros are also introduced to convert a pair of locks into lock_list::dep bit and maintain the addition of different types of dependencies.

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.
