I think you could simply improve percpu_rwsem instead. Once we add
task_struct->cpuhp_ctr percpu_rwsem and get_online_cpus/hotplug_begin
becomes absolutely congruent.
OTOH, it would be simpler to change hotplug first, then copy-and-paste
the improvents into percpu_rwsem, then see if we can simply convert
cpu_hotplug_begin/end into percpu_down/up_write.

Not sure. I think it can have other users. But even if not, please look
at "struct sb_writers". Yes, I believe it makes sense to use percpu_rwsem
here, but note that it is actually array of semaphores. I do not think
each element needs its own xxx_struct.

And even if struct percpu_rw_semaphore will be the only container of
xxx_struct, I think the code looks better and more understandable this
way, exactly because it adds the new abstraction layer. Performance-wise
this should be free.

Exactly.

Oh I disagree. Even ignoring the fact I believe xxx_struct itself
can have more users (I can be wrong of course), I do think that
percpu_down_write_nonexclusive() makes sense (except "exclusive"
should be the argument of percpu_init_rwsem). And in fact the
initial implementation I sent didn't even has the "exclusive" mode.
Please look at uprobes (currently the only user). We do not really
need the global write-lock, we can do the per-uprobe locking. However,
every caller needs to block the percpu_down_read() callers (dup_mmap).

Great ;)
