Add two self test cases for the following case: P0: P1: P2: <in irq handler> spin_lock_irq(&slock) read_lock(&rwlock) write_lock_irq(&rwlock) read_lock(&rwlock) spin_lock(&slock) , which is a deadlock, as the read_lock() on P0 cannot get the lock because of the fairness. P0: P1: P2: <in irq handler> spin_lock(&slock) read_lock(&rwlock) write_lock(&rwlock) read_lock(&rwlock) spin_lock_irq(&slock) , which is not a deadlock, as the read_lock() on P0 can get the lock because it could use the unfair fastpass.

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.
