Subject: [PATCH 02/12] rwsem: use single atomic update for sem count when waking up readers.
Date: Tue, 11 May 2010 20:20:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1273634462-2672-3-git-send-email-walken@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1273634462-2672-1-git-send-email-walken@google.com>

When waking up queued readers, __rwsem_do_wake was using a pair of atomic
operations (one before looking at the first queued thread and one after
having looped through all readers). Restructure code to use a single
atomic operation instead.
