Merge tag 'locking-urgent-2021-11-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "Two regression fixes for reader writer semaphores: - Plug a race in the lock handoff which is caused by inconsistency of the reader and writer path and can lead to corruption of the underlying counter. - down_read_trylock() is suboptimal when the lock is contended and multiple readers trylock concurrently. That's due to the initial value being read non-atomically which results in at least two compare exchange loops. Making the initial readout atomic reduces this significantly. Whith 40 readers by 11% in a benchmark which enforces contention on mmap_sem" * tag 'locking-urgent-2021-11-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: locking/rwsem: Optimize down_read_trylock() under highly contended case locking/rwsem: Make handoff bit handling more consistent
