[PATCH] sparc32 rwlock fix
read_trylock() is broken on sparc32 (doesn't build and didn't work right, actually). Proposed fix: - make "writer holds lock" distinguishable from "reader tries to grab lock" - have __raw_read_trylock() try to acquire the mutex (in LSB of lock), terminating spin if we see that there's writer holding it. Then do the rest as we do in read_lock(). Thanks to Ingo for discussion... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
