Because wake_q_add() can imply an immediate wakeup (cmpxchg failure
case), we must not rely on the wakeup being delayed. However, commit:
e38513905eea ("locking/rwsem: Rework zeroing reader waiter->task")
relies on exactly that behaviour in that the wakeup must not happen
until after we clear waiter->task.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
