v1->v2: - Take out patch 1 which had been merged to tip. - Take out patch 4 as the change may impact light load performance - Rebased to the latest tip branch In converting some existing spinlocks to rwlock, it was found that the write lock slowpath performance isn't as good as the qspinlock. This patch series tries to improve qrwlock performance to close the gap between qspinlock and qrwlock. With this patch series in place, we can start converting some spinlocks back to rwlocks where it makes sense and the lock size increase isn't a concern.
