Subject: [RT PATCH] locking/rwsem-rt: Remove might_sleep() in __up_read()

There's no chance of sleeping here, the reader is giving up the
lock and possibly waking up the writer who is waiting on it.

Hello,

I ran into a warning caused by this, and I think the warning is
incorrect. Please let me know if I'm wrong!
I'm working off of linux-5.12.y-rt, but this applies cleanly to older
stable branches as well.

Thanks,
Andrew

Just a gentle follow up, any feedback?

Thanks,

Looks correct. Will go into the next rt-release.

Hi Thomas,

I see a new release (v5.13-rt1) was created, and with it rwsem
was overhauled entirely making this patch pointless for linux-rt-devel.

That being said, it's a little unclear to me how RT only patches
make their way to the maintained branches over in linux-stable-rt.
I think it should be applied to:
v4.9-rt
v4.14-rt
v4.19-rt
v5.4-rt
v5.10-rt
to remove the incorrect warning, unless those branches plan to backport
the latest RT patchset with the new rwsem implementation. Is there a
proper way for me signal that?

Thanks,
Andrew
