In the new GC, we use a simple graph algorithm, Tarjan's Strongly Connected Components (SCC) algorithm, to find cyclic references. The algorithm visits every vertex exactly once using depth-first search (DFS). DFS starts by pushing an input vertex to a stack and assigning it a unique number. Two fields, index and lowlink, are initialised with the number, but lowlink could be updated later during DFS. If a vertex has an edge to an unvisited inflight vertex, we visit it and do the same processing. So, we will have vertices in the stack in the order they appear and number them consecutively in the same order. If a vertex has a back-edge to a visited vertex in the stack, we update the predecessor's lowlink with the successor's index. After iterating edges from the vertex, we check if its index equals its lowlink. If the lowlink is different from the index, it shows there was a back-edge. Then, we go backtracking and propagate the lowlink to its predecessor and resume the previous edge iteration from the next edge. If the lowlink is the same as the index, we pop vertices before and including the vertex from the stack. Then, the set of vertices is SCC, possibly forming a cycle. At the same time, we move the vertices to unix_visited_vertices. When we finish the algorithm, all vertices in each SCC will be linked via unix_vertex.scc_entry. Let's take an example. We have a graph including five inflight vertices (F is not inflight): A -> B -> C -> D -> E (-> F) ^ | `---------' Suppose that we start DFS from C. We will visit C, D, and B first and initialise their index and lowlink. Then, the stack looks like this: > B = (3, 3) (index, lowlink) D = (2, 2) C = (1, 1) When checking B's edge to C, we update B's lowlink with C's index and propagate it to D. B = (3, 1) (index, lowlink) > D = (2, 1) C = (1, 1) Next, we visit E, which has no edge to an inflight vertex. > E = (4, 4) (index, lowlink) B = (3, 1) D = (2, 1) C = (1, 1) When we leave from E, its index and lowlink are the same, so we pop E from the stack as single-vertex SCC. Next, we leave from B and D but do nothing because their lowlink are different from their index. B = (3, 1) (index, lowlink) D = (2, 1) > C = (1, 1) Then, we leave from C, whose index and lowlink are the same, so we pop B, D and C as SCC. Last, we do DFS for the rest of vertices, A, which is also a single-vertex SCC. Finally, each unix_vertex.scc_entry is linked as follows: A -. B -> C -> D E -. ^ | ^ | ^ | `--' `---------' `--' We use SCC later to decide whether we can garbage-collect the sockets. Note that we still cannot detect SCC properly if an edge points to an embryo socket. The following two patches will sort it out.

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 reStructuredText 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.
