From ddb20d1d3aed8f130519c0a29cd5392efcc067b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Waiman Long Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2019 10:30:08 -0400 Subject: locking/rwsem: Optimize down_read_trylock() Modify __down_read_trylock() to optimize for an unlocked rwsem and make it generate slightly better code.

For the contended cases, the new down_read_trylock() perform pretty well in x86-64, but performance degrades at high contention level on ARM64.
