[PATCH 4/5] locking/rwsem: Wake up all waiting readers if RWSEM_WAKE_READ_OWNED

From: Waiman Long
Date: Tue Nov 17 2020 - 22:05:16 EST


The rwsem wakeup logic has been modified by commit d3681e269fff
("locking/rwsem: Wake up almost all readers in wait queue") to wake up
all readers in the wait queue if the first waiter is a reader. In the
case of RWSEM_WAKE_READ_OWNED, not all readers can be woken up if the
first waiter happens to be a writer. Complete the logic by waking up
all readers even for this case.
