When the count value is in between 0 and RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS, there are 2 possibilities. Either a writer is present and there is no waiter
count = 0xffff0001
or there are waiters and readers. There is no easy way to
count = 0xffff000X However, RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS is equal to 0xffff0000, so both these two cases are beyond RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS, right? Regards, Wanpeng Li
