#ifndef queue_write_unlock
/**

* @lock : Pointer to queue rwlock structure

static inline void queue_write_unlock(struct qrwlock *lock)
{

* If the writer field is atomic, it can be cleared directly.
* Otherwise, an atomic subtraction will be used to clear it.
*/
smp_mb__before_atomic_dec();
atomic_sub(_QW_LOCKED, &lock->cnts);
