# starrocks-0002: DeadLockChecker.hasCycleInternal — cycle ArrayList O(D²) onStack scan + diamond re-traversal

## CWE-407 — Algorithmic Complexity: O(D²) onStack scan in deadlock detection DFS

## Defect

`DeadLockChecker.hasCycleInternal` is a recursive DFS deadlock detector. It maintains
`cycle`, an `ArrayList<CycleNode>`, as the DFS path ("onStack" set). At each recursion
step it scans the entire path to check whether the current locker is already on the path:

```java
// Line 560-565: O(D) scan per recursion step → O(D²) total for chain depth D
for (int i = 0; i < cycle.size(); ++i) {
    if (cycle.get(i).getLocker().equals(locker)) {
        cycle.subList(0, i).clear();
        return true;
    }
}
```

For a deadlock chain of depth D, this scan runs D + (D-1) + ... + 1 = O(D²) times total.
The fix is an O(1) lookup via `HashMap<Locker, Integer>` mapping locker → cycle index.

Additionally, when a resource is held by multiple lockers (each waiting for another resource),
the DFS recurses into each holder without a global "fully-explored" set. A shared resource
holder D reachable via two paths (B→D and C→D) is fully re-traversed on the second path
after the first path returned false, adding O(2^D) re-traversal risk for diamond wait graphs.

## Fix

Replace ArrayList onStack scan with O(1) HashMap lookup, and add fully-explored guard:

```java
// AFTER — O(D) total for chain of depth D
private final Map<Locker, Integer> cycleIndex = new HashMap<>();
private final Set<Locker> explored = new HashSet<>();

for (int i = 0; i < cycle.size(); ++i) {
    if (cycle.get(i).getLocker().equals(locker)) {   // BEFORE: O(D) scan
        // AFTER: cycleIndex.get(locker) — O(1)
        cycle.subList(0, i).clear();
        return true;
    }
}

// After hasCycleInternal returns false for a subtree, mark as explored:
// if (!hasCycleInternal(locker, ...)) { explored.add(locker); }
// At top of hasCycleInternal: if (explored.contains(locker)) return false;
```
