rw semaphore implementation, worth it?

[Anonymous]

I made a patch a while ago to use rw locks in UTS structures (currently it
uses semaphores). This is not correct. 
The correct behaviour is creating a read-write semaphore to block the
process instead busy-waiting the processor. Creating such lock worth it ?
