Whatever. The very fact that you can freely move the up_write() (as long as
it's after the down_write()) is fairly unusual.

I'd rather not. :-)

Below is a patch I've just tested, but there's a lockdep problem in it I don't
know how to solve. Namely, lockdep is apparently unhappy with us not releasing
the lock taken in device_suspend() and it complains we take it twice in a row
(which we do, but for another device). I need to use down_read_non_owner()
to make it shut up and then I also need to use up_read_non_owner() in
__device_suspend(), although there's the comment in include/linux/rwsem.h
saying exatly this about that:

/*
* Take/release a lock when not the owner will release it.
*
* [ This API should be avoided as much as possible - the
* proper abstraction for this case is completions. ]
*/

(I'd like to know your opinion about that). Yet, that's not all, because next
it complains during resume that __device_resume() releases a lock it didn't
acquire, which it clearly does, but that is intentional. Unfortunately,
there's no up_write_non_owner() ...

So, what am I supposed to do about that?
