SubjectRe: [PATCH v4 10/16] locking/rwsem: Wake up almost all readers in wait queue

Although with wake_q this is not really so... Could it at least be
rewritten, dunno something like so:

/*
* Magic number to batch-wakeup waiting readers, even when writers
* are also present in the queue. This both limits the amount of
* work the waking thread must do (albeit wake_q) and also prevents
* any potential counter overflow, however unlikely.
*/

I'm still not crazy about this artificial limit for the readers-only
case, but won't argue. I certainly like the reader/writer case.

Thanks,
