From 5197fcd09ab6dcc4df79edec7e8e27575276374c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yanfei Xu Date: Wed, 13 Oct 2021 21:41:54 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] locking/rwsem: Fix comments about reader optimistic lock stealing conditions After the commit 617f3ef95177 ("locking/rwsem: Remove reader optimistic spinning"), reader doesn't support optimistic spinning anymore, there is no need meet the condition which OSQ is empty. BTW, add an unlikely() for the max reader wakeup check in the loop.
