Subject[PATCH 0/2] locking: Provide {rwlock|spin}_is_contended on PREEMPT_RT
Date
The lkp bot reported that rt_rwlock_is_contended() is not used so I
looked closer.

#1 wires up rwlock_is_contended() with rt_rwlock_is_contended() as it
was probably intended. As noted in the patch description, a writer
will always see true based on the current implementation. This could be
solved by looking at the waiters of the rtmutex underneath as done in #2
for spin_lock (which is missing). The helper is not exported and would
be also needed for rwsem_is_contended() because it is using the same
rw_base_is_contended() implementation.

Maybe it is not worth the trouble given that on PREEMPT_RT the rwlock/
spinlock is preemptible so it might be just best to return false and
wait for the scheduler to do its magic.

Sebastian
