rwlocks do not currently have any facility to detect contention
like spinlocks do. In order to allow users of rwlocks to better manage
latency, add contention detection for queued rwlocks.

When building mips:defconfig, this patch results in:

I think the compile error is caused by the improper header file inclusion
ordering. Can you try the following change to see if it can fix the compile
error?

That results in:

It is because in arch/mips/include/asm/spinlock.h, asm/qrwlock.h is included before asm/qspinlock.h. The compilation error should be gone if the asm/qrwlock.h is removed or moved after asm/qspinlock.h.

I did a x86 build and there was no compilation issue.

Cheers,
