[ Upstream commit 99143f82a255e7f054bead8443462fae76dd829e ]
While reviewing another read_slowpath patch, both Will and I noticed another missing ACQUIRE, namely:
X = 0;
CPU0 CPU1
rwsem_down_read() for (;;) { set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
X = 1; rwsem_up_write(); rwsem_mark_wake() atomic_long_add(adjustment, &sem->count); smp_store_release(&waiter->task, NULL);
if (!waiter.task) break;
... }
r = X;
Allows 'r == 0'.

This is a backport for the v5.2 stable tree. There were multiple reports of this issue being hit.
Given that there were a few changes to the code around this, I'd appreciate an ack before pulling it in.
