Byungchul, I mostly skimmed through the document. I suggest that we split this document. The initial 1/4 of the document talks about lockdep's current implementation which I believe should be combined with the file: Documentation/locking/lockdep-design.txt. Tomorrow I would try to understand the document in detail and hopefully provide some useful comments. -- Nilay
