[ Upstream commit 952041a8639a7a3a73a2b6573cb8aa8518bc39f8 ] While reviewing rwsem down_slowpath, Will noticed ldsem had a copy of a bug we just found for rwsem. X = 0; CPU0 CPU1 rwsem_down_read() for (;;) { set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); X = 1; rwsem_up_write(); rwsem_mark_wake() atomic_long_add(adjustment, &sem->count); smp_store_release(&waiter->task, NULL); if (!waiter.task) break; ... } r = X; Allows 'r == 0'.
