Using rwlock in networking code is extremely risky.
writers can starve if enough readers are constantly
grabing the rwlock.
I thought rwlock were at fault and sent this patch:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/6/17/272
But Peter and Linus essentially told me rwlock had to be unfair.
We need to get rid of rwlock in networking code.

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.
