[Qemu-devel] [PULL 02/15] coroutine-lock: add qemu_co_rwlock_downgrade a


From: Fam Zheng
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PULL 02/15] coroutine-lock: add qemu_co_rwlock_downgrade and qemu_co_rwlock_upgrade
Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2017 11:48:12 +0800

From: Paolo Bonzini <address@hidden>

These functions are more efficient in the presence of contention.
qemu_co_rwlock_downgrade also guarantees not to block, which may
be useful in some algorithms too.
