[RFC PATCH v2 2/2] locking/percpu-rwsem: Mark rwsem as non-spinnable in percpu_rwsem_release()

From: Waiman Long
Date: Mon May 14 2018 - 15:34:18 EST


The percpu_rwsem_release() is called when the ownership of the embedded
rwsem is to be transferred to another task. The new owner, however, may
take a while to get the ownership of the lock via percpu_rwsem_acquire().
During that period, the rwsem is now marked as writer-owned with no
optimistic spinning.
