The req_lock is currently implemented as a rw_lock, but there are no instances where read_lock() is called. This means that the lock is effectively only used by writers, making it functionally equivalent to a simple spinlock. As stated in Documentation/locking/spinlocks.rst: "Reader-writer locks require more atomic memory operations than simple spinlocks. Unless the reader critical section is long, you are better off just using spinlocks." Since the rw_lock in this case incurs additional atomic memory operations without any benefit from reader-writer locking, it is more efficient to replace it with a spinlock. This patch implements that replacement to optimize the driver's performance.
