Looks very nice!
With both sets of patches applied they pass all x86 tests, but there's
cross-build failures on powerpc32, sparc32 and UML:
kernel/locking/rwsem.h:333:34: error: 'struct rw_semaphore' has no member
named 'owner'
Could you please send a delta patch against tip:WIP.locking/core, which
is the work-in-progress tree? I'll backmerge the delta patch (and any
other updates you might have meanwhil) to the one that introduces the
breakage.
Thanks,
Ingo
