// CONC.1-CONC.3: Concurrent Lock Ordering -- Deadlock Prevention
//
// Real-world scenario: In 2003, a deadlock in the MySQL InnoDB storage
// engine caused production database hangs under high concurrency. Two
// transactions each acquired locks in opposite order (table A then B
// vs. table B then A), creating a circular wait. The fix required a
// total ordering on lock acquisition, but C/C++ compilers cannot enforce
// lock ordering at compile time.
//
// In 2020, a Linux kernel deadlock (CVE-2020-36385) in the RDMA subsystem
// was caused by a lock ordering violation between two mutexes. The kernel
// has lockdep for runtime detection, but it only catches bugs that
// actually manifest during testing.
//
// Lock ordering contracts enforce a total order on lock acquisition at
// compile time. If code tries to acquire lock B while holding lock A,
// and B's rank is lower than A's, the compiler rejects it. Deadlocks
// become impossible by construction.
//
// All constants are inlined as integer literals so Z3 sees their actual
// values (the SMT encoder treats named constants as unconstrained).

// Verifiable property: lock count bounds

//
// Locks must be released in reverse order of acquisition (LIFO).
// Z3 proves that after releasing the top lock, the remaining max
// rank is still valid.

//
// Every lock in the system has a unique rank. If two locks have
// different IDs, they must have different ranks. Z3 proves that
// distinct IDs imply distinct ranks when properly assigned.

// ============================================================================
// Summary: What Assura proves at compile time
//
// CONC.1 (Lock ordering): Every lock has a compile-time rank. Acquiring
//   a lock with rank <= the current maximum held rank is a type error.
//   Circular waits are impossible because ranks impose a total order.
//
// CONC.2 (Deadlock freedom): The lock ordering contract guarantees
//   deadlock freedom by construction. No runtime detection (lockdep)
//   needed; the compiler proves it statically.
//
// CONC.3 (Lock protocol): Release must follow LIFO order. Holding too
//   many locks simultaneously is rejected. The compiler enforces the
//   full lock protocol, not just ordering.
//
// Verified properties:
//   1. LockOrderingAcquire: New lock rank exceeds held max rank
//   2. LockCountBounded: Simultaneous lock count within limit
//   3. LockReleaseOrder: Release follows LIFO rank order
//   4. TwoLockAcquisition: Two-lock ordering is consistent
//   5. LockRankAssignment: Rank assignment produces valid unique ranks
//   6. lock_count_after_release: Release decrements correctly
//
// Result: Deadlocks are compile-time errors. The MySQL InnoDB and Linux
// kernel RDMA deadlock classes of bugs cannot exist in Assura.
