That is where the "per-CPU" component comes in. So introduce the necessary per-CPU variables that would be necessary at the reader and the writer sides, and add the support for dynamically initializing per-CPU rwlocks. These per-CPU variables will be used subsequently to implement the core algorithm behind per-CPU rwlocks. Cc: David Howells Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S.
