check_prev_add_irq() tests all incompatible scenarios one after the
other while adding a lock (@next) to a tree dependency (@prev):
LOCK_USED_IN_HARDIRQ vs LOCK_ENABLED_HARDIRQ
LOCK_USED_IN_HARDIRQ_READ vs LOCK_ENABLED_HARDIRQ
LOCK_USED_IN_SOFTIRQ vs LOCK_ENABLED_SOFTIRQ
LOCK_USED_IN_SOFTIRQ_READ vs LOCK_ENABLED_SOFTIRQ
Also for these four scenarios, we must at least iterate the @prev
backward dependency. Then if it matches the relevant LOCK_USED_* bit,
we must also iterate the @next forward dependency.
Therefore in the best case we iterate 4 times, in the worst case 8 times.
A different approach can let us divide the number of branch iterations
by 4:
1) Iterate through @prev backward dependencies and accumulate all the IRQ
uses in a single mask. In the best case where the current lock hasn't
been used in IRQ, we stop here.
2) Iterate through @next forward dependencies and try to find a lock
whose usage is exclusive to the accumulated usages gathered in the
previous step. If we find one (call it @lockA), we have found an
incompatible use, otherwise we stop here. Only bad locking scenario
go further. So a sane verification stop here.
3) Iterate again through @prev backward dependency and find the lock
whose usage matches @lockA in term of incompatibility. Call that
lock @lockB.
4) Report the incompatible usages of @lockA and @lockB
If no incompatible use is found, the verification never goes beyond
step 2 which means at most two iterations.
The following compares the execution measurements of the function
check_prev_add_irq():
Number of calls | Avg (ns) | Stdev (ns) | Total time (ns)

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.
