There are use cases where a rwsem can be acquired by one task, but released by another task. In thess cases, optimistic spinning may need to be disabled. One example will be the filesystem freeze/thaw code where the task that freezes the filesystem will acquire a write lock on a rwsem and then un-owns it before returning to userspace. Later on, another task will come along, acquire the ownership, thaw the filesystem and release the rwsem. Bit 0 of the owner field was used to designate that it is a reader owned rwsem. It is now repurposed to mean that the owner of the rwsem is not known. If only bit 0 is set, the rwsem is reader owned. If bit 0 and other bits are set, it is writer owned with an unknown owner. One such value for the latter case is (-1L). So we can set owner to 1 for reader-owned, -1 for writer-owned. The owner is unknown in both cases. To handle transfer of rwsem ownership, the higher level code should set the owner field to -1 to indicate a write-locked rwsem with unknown owner. Optimistic spinning will be disabled in this case. Once the higher level code figures who the new owner is, it can then set the owner field accordingly.

/*

|
* The owner field of the rw_semaphore structure will be set to
|
|
* RWSEM_READER_OWNED when a reader grabs the lock. A writer will clear
|
|
* the owner field when it unlocks. A reader, on the other hand, will
|
|
* not touch the owner field when it unlocks.
|
|
*
|
|
* In essence, the owner field now has the following 4 states:
|
|
* 1) 0
|
|
* - lock is free or the owner hasn't set the field yet
|
|
* 2) RWSEM_READER_OWNED
|
|
* - lock is currently or previously owned by readers (lock is free
|
|
* or not set by owner yet)
|
|
* 3) RWSEM_ANONYMOUSLY_OWNED bit set with some other bits set as well
|
|
* - lock is owned by an anonymous writer, so spinning on the lock
|
|
* owner should be disabled.
|
|
* 4) Other non-zero value
|
|
* - a writer owns the lock and other writers can spin on the lock owner.
