      Documentation: rw_lock lessons learned · fb0bbb92
      William Allen Simpson authored
      In recent months, two different network projects erroneously
      strayed down the rw_lock path.  Update the Documentation
      based upon comments by Eric Dumazet and Paul E. McKenney in
      those threads.
      
      Further updates await somebody else with more expertise.
      
      Changes:
        - Merged with extensive content by Stephen Hemminger.
        - Fix one of the comments by Linus Torvalds.
