I think it all becomes simpler if you use only 2 bits. Such that:

  bit0 is the prev R (0) or N (1) value,
  bit1 is the next R (0) or N (1) value.

I think this should work because we don't care about the empty set
(currently 0000) and all the complexity in patch 5 is because we can
have R bits set when there's also N bits. The concequence of that is
that we cannot replace ! with ~ (which is what I kept doing).

But with only 2 bits, we only track the strongest relation in the set,
which is exactly what we appear to need.


The above then becomes something like:

static inline u8 __calc_dep(struct held_lock *lock)
{
        return lock->read != 2;
}

static inline u8
calc_dep(struct held_lock *prev, struct held_lock *next)
{
        return (__calc_dep(prev) << 0) | (__calc_dep(next) << 1);
}


        entry->dep |= calc_dep(prev, next);



Then the stuff from 5 can be:

static inline bool is_rx(u8 dep)
{
        return !(dep & 1);
}

static inline bool is_xr(u8 dep)
{
        return !(dep & 2);
}


        if (have_xr && is_rx(entry->dep))
                continue;

        entry->have_xr = is_xr(entry->dep);


Or did I mess that up somewhere?
