22 * Guide to the rw_semaphore's count field for common values.
23 * (32-bit case illustrated, similar for 64-bit)
25 * 0x0000000X (1) X readers active or attempting lock, no writer waiting
26 * X = #active_readers + #readers attempting to lock
29 * 0x00000000 rwsem is unlocked, and no one is waiting for the lock or
30 * attempting to read lock or write lock.
32 * 0xffff000X (1) X readers active or attempting lock, with waiters for lock
33 * X = #active readers + # readers attempting lock
34 * (X*ACTIVE_BIAS + WAITING_BIAS)
35 * (2) 1 writer attempting lock, no waiters for lock
36 * X-1 = #active readers + #readers attempting lock
37 * ((X-1)*ACTIVE_BIAS + ACTIVE_WRITE_BIAS)
38 * (3) 1 writer active, no waiters for lock
39 * X-1 = #active readers + #readers attempting lock
40 * ((X-1)*ACTIVE_BIAS + ACTIVE_WRITE_BIAS)
42 * 0xffff0001 (1) 1 reader active or attempting lock, waiters for lock
43 * (WAITING_BIAS + ACTIVE_BIAS)
44 * (2) 1 writer active or attempting lock, no waiters for lock
47 * 0xffff0000 (1) There are writers or readers queued but none active
48 * or in the process of attempting lock.
50 * Note: writer can attempt to steal lock for this count by adding
51 * ACTIVE_WRITE_BIAS in cmpxchg and checking the old count
53 * 0xfffe0001 (1) 1 writer active, or attempting lock. Waiters on queue.
54 * (ACTIVE_WRITE_BIAS + WAITING_BIAS)
56 * Note: Readers attempt to lock by adding ACTIVE_BIAS in down_read and checking
57 * the count becomes more than 0 for successful lock acquisition,
58 * i.e. the case where there are only readers or nobody has lock.
59 * (1st and 2nd case above).
61 * Writers attempt to lock by adding ACTIVE_WRITE_BIAS in down_write and
62 * checking the count becomes ACTIVE_WRITE_BIAS for successful lock
63 * acquisition (i.e. nobody else has lock or attempts lock). If
64 * unsuccessful, in rwsem_down_write_failed, we'll check to see if there
65 * are only waiters but none active (5th case above), and attempt to
71 * Initialize an rwsem:

74 struct lock_class_key
