Probably misunderstanding, but I'd say that read->read locking is "the
norm"...?

If you don't use qrwlock, readers are also "recursive", in part.,

  P0			P1
  read_lock(l)
			write_lock(l)
  read_lock(l)

won't block P0 on the second read_lock().  (qrwlock somehow complicate
the analysis; IIUC, they are recursive if and only if in_interrupt().).
