commit 1a728dff855a318bb58bcc1259b1826a7ad9f0bd upstream.
If the optimistic spinning queue is empty and the rwsem does not have the handoff or write-lock bits set, it is actually not necessary to call rwsem_optimistic_spin() to spin on it. Instead, it can steal the lock directly as its reader bias is in the count already. If it is the first reader in this state, it will try to wake up other readers in the wait queue.
With this patch applied, the following were the lock event counts after rebooting a 2-socket system and a "make -j96" kernel rebuild.
rwsem_opt_rlock=4437 rwsem_rlock=29 rwsem_rlock_steal=19
So lock stealing represents about 0.4% of all the read locks acquired in the slow path.
