[PATCH v3] lockdep: Allow tuning tracing capacity constants.

From: Tetsuo Handa
Date: Sat Oct 10 2020 - 19:10:23 EST


Since syzkaller continues various test cases until the kernel crashes,
syzkaller tends to examine more locking dependencies than normal systems.
As a result, syzbot is reporting that the fuzz testing was terminated
due to hitting upper limits lockdep can track [1] [2] [3].

Peter Zijlstra does not want to allow tuning these limits via kernel
config options, for such change discourages thinking. But currently we
are not actionable, for lockdep does not report the culprit for hitting
these limits [4].

Therefore, I propose this patch again, with a caveat that this patch is
expected to be reverted after lockdep becomes capable of reporting the
culprit, for I consider that "postpone fixing lock related problems in
existing code" is less painful than "not detecting lock related problems
introduced by new patches".
