Subject: preempt-rt: implement rt_downgrade_write
The current code of rt_downgrade_write simply does a BUG(). There
are places in the kernel that uses this code, and will crash a runnning
preempt-rt kernel.
The rt_downgrade_write converts a rwsem held for write into a rwsem
held for read without ever releasing the semaphore. In -rt, the rwsems
are simply a mutex. There is nothing different between a rwsem held
for write, and one held for read. The difference is that one held for
read can nest.
This patch changes the BUG_ON() to simply BUG if the caller is not
the owner of the semaphore.
This patch comes from my rt-git repo, and has been tested there.
