locking/lockdep: Check redundant dependency only when CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SMALL As Peter has put it all sound and complete for the cause, I simply quote: "It (check_redundant) was added for cross-release (which has since been reverted) which would generate a lot of redundant links (IIRC) but having it makes the reports more convoluted -- basically, if we had an A-B-C relation, then A-C will not be added to the graph because it is already covered. This then means any report will include B, even though a shorter cycle might have been possible." This would increase the number of direct dependencies. For a simple workload (make clean; reboot; make vmlinux -j8), the data looks like this: CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SMALL: direct dependencies: 6926 !CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SMALL: direct dependencies: 9052 (+30.7%) Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Yuyang Du <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <[email protected]> Cc: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]> --- kernel/locking/lockdep.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/kernel/locking/lockdep.c b/kernel/locking/lockdep.c index 30a1c0e32573..63b82921698d 100644 --- a/kernel/locking/lockdep.c +++ b/kernel/locking/lockdep.c @@ -1739,6 +1739,7 @@ check_noncircular(struct held_lock *src, struct held_lock *target, return ret; } +#ifdef CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SMALL /* * Check that the dependency graph starting at <src> can lead to * <target> or not.
