It used to use the expedited variant until 001dac627ff3
("locking/percpu-rwsem: Make use of the rcu_sync infrastructure"), so
it might have been okay before then.
Skewing towards readers is fine but tens of millisecs of delays
definitely can't fit some use cases. There's a balance between CPU
overhead and latency here. If down writes are infrequent enough, it
doesn't make sense to aggressively trade off latency for lower
processing overhead for some use cases.
The options that I can see are
1. Somehow make percpu_rwsem's write behavior more responsive in a way
which is acceptable all use cases. This would be great but
probably impossible.
2. Add a fast-writer option to percpu_rwsem so that users which care
about write latency can opt in for higher processing overhead for
lower latency.
3. Implement a custom per-cpu locking construct for the particular use
case.
#3 would inherently be similar to #2 in its behavior. If #1 isn't
possible, #2 looks like the best course of action.
Thanks.
