Subject: [PATCH 10/11] x86 rwsem: down_read_critical implementation
Date: Mon, 24 May 2010 13:31:20 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1274733081-4623-11-git-send-email-walken@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1274733081-4623-1-git-send-email-walken@google.com>

The basic properties that have been true so far still hold:
- RWSEM_ACTIVE_READ_BIAS  & RWSEM_ACTIVE_MASK == 1
- RWSEM_ACTIVE_WRITE_BIAS & RWSEM_ACTIVE_MASK == 1
- RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS      & RWSEM_ACTIVE_MASK == 0
- RWSEM_ACTIVE_WRITE_BIAS < 0 and RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS < 0

A new property is introduced: RWSEM_ACTIVE_WRITE_BIAS is set to be
'more negative' than RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS. This way, even the first writer
will set the rwsem count to be < RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS and down_read_critical()
can make use of this to determine if there are any active writers.
