[RFC 1/2] rwsem: introduce upgrade_read interface

lizhe.67
2024-10-16T04:36:21Z

From: Li Zhe <lizhe.67@bytedance.com>

Introduce a new rwsem interface upgrade_read(). We can call it
to upgrade the lock into write rwsem lock after we get read lock.
This interface will wait for all readers to exit before obtaining
the write lock. In addition, this interface has a higher priority
than any process waiting for the write lock and subsequent threads
that want to obtain the read lock.
