From 4a444b1f06d259ce938a47048840260f71a91c84 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josef Bacik Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2013 10:05:22 -0400 Subject: rwsem: add rwsem_is_contended Btrfs needs a simple way to know if it needs to let go of it's read lock on a rwsem. Introduce rwsem_is_contended to check to see if there are any waiters on this rwsem currently. This is just a hueristic, it is meant to be light and not 100% accurate and called by somebody already holding on to the rwsem in either read or write.
