Thanks. I am indeed reviewing the rwlock changes, and conceptually they are
much simpler than the condition variable changes. I expect fewer arches will
see any real problems with the rwlock changes. I am aiming to post the results
of my review by tomorrow, but realistically the 3rd is more likely.
The rwlock changes have been in Fedora Rawide testing since November 2016 and
we haven't seen any problems. Torvalds preliminary microbenchmark numbers also
look very good, but I'll let him talk about that.
