locking/lockdep: Handle non(or multi)-acquisition of a crosslock
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.
