What a kind guys, both of you! Thanks. I asked to check if there are other subtle things than this.

Regarding deadlocks, > > T0 T1 T2 > -- -- -- > fair_read_lock(A); > write_lock(B); > write_lock(A); > write_lock(B); > unfair_read_lock(A); With the DEPT's point of view (let me re-write the scenario): T0 T1 T2 -- -- -- fair_read_lock(A); write_lock(B); write_lock(A); write_lock(B); unfair_read_lock(A); write_unlock(B); read_unlock(A); read_unlock(A); write_unlock(B); write_unlock(A); T0: read_unlock(A) cannot happen if write_lock(B) is stuck by a B owner not doing either write_unlock(B) or read_unlock(B). In other words: 1. read_unlock(A) happening depends on write_unlock(B) happening. 2. read_unlock(A) happening depends on read_unlock(B) happening. T1: write_unlock(B) cannot happen if unfair_read_lock(A) is stuck by a A owner not doing write_unlock(A). In other words: 3. write_unlock(B) happening depends on write_unlock(A) happening. 1, 2 and 3 give the following dependencies: 1. read_unlock(A) -> write_unlock(B) 2. read_unlock(A) -> read_unlock(B) 3. write_unlock(B) -> write_unlock(A) There's no circular dependency so it's safe. DEPT doesn't report this. > the above is not a deadlock, since T1's unfair reader can "steal" the > lock. However the following is a deadlock: > > T0 T1 T2 > -- -- -- > unfair_read_lock(A); > write_lock(B); > write_lock(A); > write_lock(B); > fair_read_lock(A); > > , since T'1 fair reader will wait. With the DEPT's point of view (let me re-write the scenario): T0 T1 T2 -- -- -- unfair_read_lock(A); write_lock(B); write_lock(A); write_lock(B); fair_read_lock(A); write_unlock(B); read_unlock(A); read_unlock(A); write_unlock(B); write_unlock(A); T0: read_unlock(A) cannot happen if write_lock(B) is stuck by a B owner not doing either write_unlock(B) or read_unlock(B). In other words: 1. read_unlock(A) happening depends on write_unlock(B) happening. 2. read_unlock(A) happening depends on read_unlock(B) happening. T1: write_unlock(B) cannot happen if fair_read_lock(A) is stuck by a A owner not doing either write_unlock(A) or read_unlock(A). In other words: 3. write_unlock(B) happening depends on write_unlock(A) happening. 4. write_unlock(B) happening depends on read_unlock(A) happening. 1, 2, 3 and 4 give the following dependencies: 1. read_unlock(A) -> write_unlock(B) 2. read_unlock(A) -> read_unlock(B) 3. write_unlock(B) -> write_unlock(A) 4. write_unlock(B) -> read_unlock(A) With 1 and 4, there's a circular dependency so DEPT definitely report this as a problem.
