No acquisition might be in progress on commit of a crosslock. Completion
operations enabling crossrelease are the case like:
CONTEXT X CONTEXT Y
--------- ---------
trigger completion context
complete AX
commit AX
wait_for_complete AX
acquire AX
wait
where AX is a crosslock.
When no acquisition is in progress, we should not perform commit because
the lock does not exist, which might cause incorrect memory access. So
we have to track the number of acquisitions of a crosslock to handle it.
Moreover, in case that more than one acquisition of a crosslock are
overlapped like:
CONTEXT W CONTEXT X CONTEXT Y CONTEXT Z
--------- --------- --------- ---------
acquire AX (gen_id: 1)
acquire A
acquire AX (gen_id: 10)
acquire B
commit AX
acquire C
commit AX
where A, B and C are typical locks and AX is a crosslock.
Current crossrelease code performs commits in Y and Z with gen_id = 10.
However, we can use gen_id = 1 to do it, since not only 'acquire AX in X'
but 'acquire AX in W' also depends on each acquisition in Y and Z until
their commits. So make it use gen_id = 1 instead of 10 on their commits,
which adds an additional dependency 'AX -> A' in the example above.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
