The percpu_rwsem_release() is called when the ownership of the embedded rwsem is to be transferred to another task. The new owner, however, may take a while to get the ownership of the lock via percpu_rwsem_acquire(). During that period, the rwsem is now marked as writer-owned with no optimistic spinning.
