      rwsem: Add comments to explain the meaning of the rwsem's count field · 3cf2f34e
      Tim Chen 提交于
      It took me quite a while to understand how rwsem's count field
      mainifested itself in different scenarios.
      
      Add comments to provide a quick reference to the the rwsem's count
      field for each scenario where readers and writers are contending
      for the lock.
      
      Hopefully it will be useful for future maintenance of the code and
      for people to get up to speed on how the logic in the code works.
