[PATCH v3 2/4] locking/rwsem: Don't wake up one's own task

From: Waiman Long
Date: Thu May 12 2016 - 18:57:29 EST


As rwsem_down_read_failed() will queue itself and potentially call
__rwsem_do_wake(sem, RWSEM_WAKE_ANY), it is possible that a reader
will try to wake up its own task. This patch adds a check to make
sure that this won't happen.
