READ is zero so this test is always false.  (rw == READ) was intended.

Actually, that really *is* a bitmask, but yeah, the test is wrong.

The correct test is

  ((rw & RW_MASK) == READ)

because the field can have other bits set too (REQ_SYNC or REQ_META or
whatever - read-ahead, other bits)

Alternatively, just "!(rw & WRITE)" I guess.

But thanks for noticing.

READ is zero so this test is always false.  If ((rw & RW_MASK) == READ)
was intended.

v2: I didn't mask out the other flags in the first version
