25 * 1) Try fast path release (reader count != 1)
26 * 2) Wake the writer waiting in down_write()/write_lock() #3
28 * down_read/read_lock()#3 has the consequence, that rw semaphores and rw
29 * locks on RT are not writer fair, but writers, which should be avoided in
30 * RT tasks (think mmap_sem), are subject to the rtmutex priority/DL
31 * inheritance mechanism.
33 * It's possible to make the rw primitives writer fair by keeping a list of
34 * active readers. A blocked writer would force all newly incoming readers
35 * to block on the rtmutex, but the rtmutex would have to be proxy locked
36 * for one reader after the other. We can't use multi-reader inheritance
37 * because there is no way to support that with SCHED_DEADLINE.
38 * Implementing the one by one reader boosting/handover mechanism is a
39 * major surgery for a very dubious value.
41 * The risk of writer starvation is there, but the pathological use cases
42 * which trigger it are not necessarily the typical RT workloads.
44 * Fast-path orderings:
45 * The lock/unlock of readers can run in fast paths: lock and unlock are only
46 * atomic ops, and there is no inner lock to provide ACQUIRE and RELEASE
47 * semantics of rwbase_rt. Atomic ops should thus provide _acquire()
48 * and _release() (or stronger).
