Currently, functions like synchronize_srcu() do not have lockdep annotations resembling those of other write-side locking primitives. Such annotations might look as follows: lock_acquire(); lock_release(); Such annotations would tell lockdep that synchronize_srcu() acts like an empty critical section that waits for other (read-side) critical sections to finish. This would definitely catch some deadlock, but as pointed out by Paul Mckenney [1], this could also introduce false positives because of irq-safe/unsafe detection. Of course, there are tricks could help with this: might_sleep(); // Existing statement in __synchronize_srcu(). if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING)) { local_irq_disable(); lock_acquire(); lock_release(); local_irq_enable(); } But it would be better for lockdep to provide a separate annonation for functions like synchronize_srcu(), so that people won't need to repeat the ugly tricks above. Therefore introduce lock_sync(), which is simply an lock+unlock pair with no irq safe/unsafe deadlock check. This works because the to-be-annontated functions do not create real critical sections, and there is therefore no way that irq can create extra dependencies.
