From bcba67cd806800fa8e973ac49dbc7d2d8fb3e55e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2020 09:34:37 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] locking/rwsem: Remove RWSEM_OWNER_UNKNOWN Remove the now unused RWSEM_OWNER_UNKNOWN hack. This hack breaks PREEMPT_RT and getting rid of it was the entire motivation for re-writing the percpu rwsem. The biggest problem is that it is fundamentally incompatible with any form of Priority Inheritance, any exclusively held lock must have a distinct owner.
