If the reader acquires the read lock and then the writer enters the slow path, while the reader proceeds to the unlock path, the following scenario can occur without the change: writer: pcpu_read_count(lock) return 1 (so __do_six_trylock will return 0) reader: this_cpu_dec(*lock->readers) reader: smp_mb() reader: state = atomic_read(&lock->state) (there is no waiting flag set) writer: six_set_bitmask() then the writer will sleep forever.
