X = 0;
X = 1;
rwsem_down_read() rwsem_up_write();
for (;;) {
set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
rwsem_mark_wake()
atomic_long_add(adjustment, &sem->count);
smp_store_release(&waiter->task, NULL);
if (!waiter.task)
break;
...
}
r = X;
can I think result in r==0 just fine, because there's nothing ordering
the load of waiter.task with the store of X.
It is exceedingly unlikely, but not impossible afaict.
