One type of blocking + * resource is a lock. If a lock l1 is acquired (locked) before l2, + * then we say that |l1 <_P l2|. The detector flags an error if two + * locks l1 and l2 have an inconsistent ordering in P; that is, if + * both |l1 <_P l2| and |l2 <_P l1|. This is a potential error + * because a thread acquiring l1,l2 according to the first order might + * race with a thread acquiring them according to the second order. + * If this happens under the right conditions, then the acquisitions + * will deadlock. + * + * This deadlock detector doesn't know at compile-time what P is. So, + * it tries to discover the order at run time. More precisely, it + * finds <i>some</i> order P, then tries to find chains of resource + * acquisitions that violate P. An example acquisition sequence, and + * the orders they impose, is + * l1.lock() // current chain: [ l1 ] + * // order: { } + * + * l2.lock() // current chain: [ l1, l2 ] + * // order: { l1 <_P l2 } + * + * l3.lock() // current chain: [ l1, l2, l3 ] + * // order: { l1 <_P l2, l2 <_P l3, l1 <_P l3 } + * // (note: <_P is transitive, so also |l1 <_P l3|) + * + * l2.unlock() // current chain: [ l1, l3 ] + * // order: { l1 <_P l2, l2 <_P l3, l1 <_P l3 } + * // (note: it's OK, but weird, that l2 was unlocked out + * // of order. we still have l1 <_P l3). + * + * l2.lock() // current chain: [ l1, l3, l2 ] + * // order: { l1 <_P l2, l2 <_P l3, l1 <_P l3, + * l3 <_P l2 (!!!) } + * BEEP BEEP! Here the detector will flag a potential error, since + * l2 and l3 were used inconsistently (and potentially in ways that + * would deadlock). + */ +template<typename T> +class DeadlockDetector +{ +public: + typedef nsTArray<const T*> ResourceAcquisitionArray; + +private: + struct OrderingEntry; + typedef nsTArray<OrderingEntry*> HashEntryArray; + typedef typename HashEntryArray::index_type index_type; + typedef typename HashEntryArray::size_type size_type; + static const index_type NoIndex = HashEntryArray::NoIndex; + + /** + * Value type for the ordering table.
