[PATCH] locking/rwsem: Add up_write_non_owner() for percpu_up_write()

From: Waiman Long
Date: Wed Apr 04 2018 - 10:38:08 EST


The commit 8c5db92a705d ("locking/rwsem: Add DEBUG_RWSEMS to look for
lock/unlock mismatches") causes a warning in ext4 fstests due to the
fact that the freeze and thaw ioctls, by design, are run in different
processes. This is not a bug in the commit itself. Rather, we need a
up_write() variant that annotates the fact that it can be called from
a task different from the one that took the lock.

The new API is up_write_non_owner() and the percpu_up_write() function
is modified to use it instead of the plain up_write().
