From 1900a7a32a9988af9bb6ad21d66ddcb4a1bc3af4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2010 17:09:53 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] sparc64: Fix rwsem constant bug leading to hangs. [ Upstream commit ef201bebe5afc91a2b99b45dacc8c6dd88ca9e58 ] As noticed by Linus, it is critical that some of the rwsem constants be signed. Yet, hex constants are unsigned unless explicitly casted or negated. The most critical one is RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS. This bug was exacerbated by commit 424acaaeb3a3932d64a9b4bd59df6cf72c22d8f3 ("rwsem: wake queued readers when writer blocks on active read lock") Signed-off-by: David S.
