If the writer times out, readers in the queue should be woken up, otherwise they may miss a chance to acquire the semaphore until the last active reader will do ldsem_up_read(). There was a couple of reports where there was one active reader and other readers soft locked up: Showing all locks held in the system: 2 locks held by khungtaskd/17: #0: (rcu_read_lock){......}, at: watchdog+0x124/0x6d1 #1: (tasklist_lock){.+.+..}, at: debug_show_all_locks+0x72/0x2d3 2 locks held by askfirst/123: #0: (&tty->ldisc_sem){.+.+.+}, at: ldsem_down_read+0x46/0x58 #1: (&ldata->atomic_read_lock){+.+...}, at: n_tty_read+0x115/0xbe4 Prevent readers wait for active readers to release ldisc semaphore.
