lockdep: Reintroduce generation count to make BFS faster
We still can apply DaveM's generation count optimization to BFS, based on the following idea: - before doing each BFS, increase the global generation id by 1 - if one node in the graph has been visited, mark it as visited by storing the current global generation id into the node's dep_gen_id field - so we can decide if one node has been visited already, by comparing the node's dep_gen_id with the global generation id. By applying DaveM's generation count optimization to current implementation of BFS, we gain the following advantages: - we save MAX_LOCKDEP_ENTRIES/8 bytes memory; - we remove the bitmap_zero(bfs_accessed, MAX_LOCKDEP_ENTRIES); in each BFS, which is very time-consuming since MAX_LOCKDEP_ENTRIES may be very large.(16384UL) Signed-off-by: NMing Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: "David S.
