[PATCH] Fix rwsem contention case on alpha/s390x
Thanks to Dru <andru@treshna.com>, who provided an easy way to reproduce the problem. What we have in lib/rwsem.c:__rwsem_do_wake(): int woken, loop; ^^^ and several lines below: loop = woken; woken *= RWSEM_ACTIVE_BIAS-RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS; woken -= RWSEM_ACTIVE_BIAS; However, rw_semaphore->count is 64-bit on Alpha, so RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS has been defined as -0x0000000100000000L. Obviously, this blows up in the write contention case.
