locking/qrwlock: Better optimization for interrupt context readers The qrwlock is fair in the process context, but becoming unfair when in the interrupt context to support use cases like the tasklist_lock. The current code isn't that well-documented on what happens when in the interrupt context. The rspin_until_writer_unlock() will only spin if the writer has gotten the lock. If the writer is still in the waiting state, the increment in the reader count will cause the writer to remain in the waiting state and the new interrupt context reader will get the lock and return immediately. The current code, however, does an additional read of the lock value which is not necessary as the information has already been there in the fast path. This may sometime cause an additional cacheline transfer when the lock is highly contended. This patch passes the lock value information gotten in the fast path to the slow path to eliminate the additional read. It also documents the action for the interrupt context readers more clearly.

locking/qrwlock: Prevent slowpath writers getting held up by fastpath When a prospective writer takes the qrwlock locking slowpath due to the lock being held, it attempts to cmpxchg the wmode field from 0 to _QW_WAITING so that concurrent lockers also take the slowpath and queue on the spinlock accordingly, allowing the lockers to drain. Unfortunately, this isn't fair, because a fastpath writer that comes in after the lock is made available but before the _QW_WAITING flag is set can effectively jump the queue. If there is a steady stream of prospective writers, then the waiter will be held off indefinitely. This patch restores fairness by separating _QW_WAITING and _QW_LOCKED into two distinct fields: _QW_LOCKED continues to occupy the bottom byte of the lockword so that it can be cleared unconditionally when unlocking, but _QW_WAITING now occupies what used to be the bottom bit of the reader count. This then forces the slow-path for concurrent lockers.
