Dept already prevents creating dependencies between different depths of the class indicated by *_lock_nested() when the lock acquisitions happen consecutively. lock A0 with depth lock_nested A1 with depth + 1 ... unlock A1 unlock A0 Dept does not create A0 -> A1 dependency in this case, either. However, once another class cut in, the code becomes problematic. When Dept tries to create real dependencies, it does not only create real ones but also wrong ones between different depths of the class. lock A0 with depth lock B lock_nested A1 with depth + 1 ... unlock A1 unlock B unlock A0 Even in this case, Dept should not create A0 -> A1 dependency. So let Dept not create wrong dependencies between different depths of the class in any case.
