Interesting discussion in the Linux kernel mailing list with
this subject line.
Mailing lists are a pain. The only thing more primitive is
physically mailing punch card decks around. If we can't get
these troglodytes into the 21st century then we need some
proxy blogging site that lets you participate without actually
having to subscribe to the mailing lists personally. Can
you imagine all of the usenet groups being mailing lists
rather than accessed through news feeds.
So I guess they (Linux kernel developers) don't need to know
there is a rw spinlock that doesn't have reader or writer
starvation problems. :)
