Subject[PATCH v4 0/5] lockinig/rwsem: Fix rwsem bugs & enable true lock handoff
Date
v4:
- Update patch descriptions in patches 1 & 2 to make clear the live
lock conditions that are being fixed by these patches. There is no code
change from v3.

v3:
- Make a minor cleanup to patch 1.
- Add 3 more patches to implement true lock handoff.

It turns out the current waiter optimistic spinning code does not work
that well if we have RT tasks in the mix. This patch series include two
different fixes to resolve those issues. The last 3 patches modify the
handoff code to implement true lock handoff similar to that of mutex.

Waiman Long (5):
locking/rwsem: Prevent non-first waiter from spinning in down_write()
slowpath
locking/rwsem: Limit # of null owner retries for handoff writer
locking/rwsem: Change waiter->hanodff_set to a handoff_state enum
locking/rwsem: Enable direct rwsem lock handoff
locking/rwsem: Update handoff lock events tracking
