Prev: [PATCH 06/10] rwsem: smaller wrappers around rwsem_down_failed_common
Next: WARNING: at fs/namespace.c:648 commit_tree+0xf1/0x10b()
From: Michel Lespinasse on 14 May 2010 08:50
Add down_read_unfair() API.

This is similar to down_read() with the following changes:
- when the rwsem is read owned with queued writers, down_read_unfair() callers
are allowed to acquire the rwsem for read without queueing;
- when the rwsem is write owned, down_read_unfair() callers get queued in
front of threads trying to acquire the rwsem by other means.
