Apparently despite it being marked inline, the compiler may not inline __down_read_common() which makes it difficult to identify the cause of lock contention, as the blocked function in traceevents will always be listed as __down_read_common().

So this patch adds __always_inline annotation to the common function (as well as the inlined helper callers) to force it to be inlined so the blocking function will be listed (via Wchan) in traceevents.

v3: Add __always_inline annotations to currently inlined users of __down_read_common() to avoid the compiler later doing the same thing there. (Suggested by Peter). --- kernel/locking/rwsem.c | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)
