Unlike smc_buf_create() and smcr_buf_unuse(), smcr_lgr_reg_rmbs() is exclusive when assigned rmb_desc was not registered, although it can be executed in parallel when assigned rmb_desc was registered already and only performs read semtamics on it. Hence, we can not simply replace it with read semaphore. The idea here is that if the assigned rmb_desc was registered already, use read semaphore to protect the critical section, once the assigned rmb_desc was not registered, keep using keep write semaphore still to keep its exclusivity. Thanks to the reusable features of rmb_desc, which allows us to execute in parallel in most cases. Signed-off-by: D. Wythe <alibuda@linux.alibaba.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
