[PATCH v2 3/7] locking/rwsem: rwsem_can_spin_on_owner can be called with preemption enabled

From: Waiman Long
Date: Thu Aug 07 2014 - 18:27:23 EST


The rwsem_can_spin_on_owner() function can be called with preemption
enabled. This patch moves it before preempt_disable() so that it won't
do unnecessary preemption operations when spinning is not possible.
