Commit 1ea4b473504b ("locking/rwsem: Remove the list_head from struct
rw_semaphore") introduced a logic error in rwsem_del_waiter().

The root cause of this issue is an inconsistency in the return values of
__rwsem_del_waiter() and rwsem_del_waiter(). Specifically,
__rwsem_del_waiter() returns true when the wait list becomes empty,
whereas rwsem_del_waiter() is supposed to return true if the wait list
is NOT empty.

This caused a null pointer dereference in rwsem_mark_wake() because it
was being called when sem-&gt;first_waiter was NULL.

Instead of embedding a list_head in struct rw_semaphore, store a pointer
to the first waiter.  The list of waiters remains a doubly linked list
so we can efficiently add to the tail of the list, remove from the front
(or middle) of the list.

Some of the list manipulation becomes more complicated, but it's a
reasonable tradeoff on the slow paths to shrink some core data structures
like struct inode.

<title>hung_task: extend hung task blocker tracking to rwsems</title>

Inspired by mutex blocker tracking[1], and having already extended it to
semaphores, let's now add support for reader-writer semaphores (rwsems).

The approach is simple: when a task enters TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE while
waiting for an rwsem, we just call hung_task_set_blocker().  The hung task
detector can then query the rwsem's owner to identify the lock holder.

Tracking works reliably for writers, as there can only be a single writer
holding the lock, and its task struct is stored in the owner field.

The main challenge lies with readers.  The owner field points to only one
of many concurrent readers, so we might lose track of the blocker if that
specific reader unlocks, even while others remain.  This is not a
significant issue, however.  In practice, long-lasting lock contention is
almost always caused by a writer.  Therefore, reliably tracking the writer
is the primary goal of this patch series ;)

With this change, the hung task detector can now show blocker task's info
like below:

Patch series "extend hung task blocker tracking to rwsems".

Inspired by mutex blocker tracking[1], and having already extended it to
semaphores, let's now add support for reader-writer semaphores (rwsems).

The approach is simple: when a task enters TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE while
waiting for an rwsem, we just call hung_task_set_blocker().  The hung task
detector can then query the rwsem's owner to identify the lock holder.

Tracking works reliably for writers, as there can only be a single writer
holding the lock, and its task struct is stored in the owner field.

The main challenge lies with readers.  The owner field points to only one
of many concurrent readers, so we might lose track of the blocker if that
specific reader unlocks, even while others remain.  This is not a
significant issue, however.  In practice, long-lasting lock contention is
almost always caused by a writer.  Therefore, reliably tracking the writer
is the primary goal of this patch series ;)

With this change, the hung task detector can now show blocker task's info

This patch (of 3):

In preparation for extending blocker tracking to support rwsems, make the
rwsem_owner() and is_rwsem_reader_owned() helpers globally available for
determining if the blocker is a writer or one of the readers.

Additionally, a stale owner pointer in a reader-owned rwsem can lead to
false positives in blocker tracking when CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK_BLOCKER
is enabled.  To mitigate this, clear the owner field on the reader unlock
path, similar to what CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS does.  A NULL owner is better
than a stale one for diagnostics.

<title>locking/rwsem: Use OWNER_NONSPINNABLE directly instead of OWNER_SPINNABLE</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f84a15b90d96f3da99f67fea2e116850d99fb7c4</id>
<content type='text'>
After commit 7d43f1ce9dd0 ("locking/rwsem: Enable time-based spinning on
reader-owned rwsem"), OWNER_SPINNABLE contains all possible values except
OWNER_NONSPINNABLE, namely OWNER_NULL | OWNER_WRITER | OWNER_READER.

Therefore, it is better to use OWNER_NONSPINNABLE directly to determine
whether to exit optimistic spin.

And, remove useless OWNER_SPINNABLE to simplify the code.

<title>locking/mutex: Remove wakeups from under mutex::wait_lock</title>

<content type='text'>
In preparation to nest mutex::wait_lock under rq::lock we need
to remove wakeups from under it.

Do this by utilizing wake_qs to defer the wakeup until after the
lock is dropped.

[Heavily changed after 55f036ca7e74 ("locking: WW mutex cleanup") and
08295b3b5bee ("locking: Implement an algorithm choice for Wound-Wait
mutexes")]
[jstultz: rebased to mainline, added extra wake_up_q &amp; init
 to avoid hangs, similar to Connor's rework of this patch]

Both is_rwsem_reader_owned() and rwsem_owner() are currently only used when
CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS is defined. This causes a compilation error with clang
when `make W=1` and CONFIG_WERROR=y:

kernel/locking/rwsem.c:187:20: error: unused function 'is_rwsem_reader_owned' [-Werror,-Wunused-function]
  187 | static inline bool is_rwsem_reader_owned(struct rw_semaphore *sem)
      |                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
kernel/locking/rwsem.c:271:35: error: unused function 'rwsem_owner' [-Werror,-Wunused-function]
  271 | static inline struct task_struct *rwsem_owner(struct rw_semaphore *sem)
      |                                   ^~~~~~~~~~~

Fix this by moving these two functions under the CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS define.
