f2fs rw_semaphores work better if writers can starve readers, especially for the checkpoint thread, because writers are strictly more important than reader threads. This prevents significant priority inversion between low-priority readers that blocked while trying to acquire the read lock and a second acquisition of the write lock that might be blocking high priority work.

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.
