Inspired by mutex blocker tracking[1], and having already extended it to semaphores, let's now add support for reader-writer semaphores (rwsems). The approach is simple: when a task enters TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE while waiting for an rwsem, we just call hung_task_set_blocker(). The hung task detector can then query the rwsem's owner to identify the lock holder. Tracking works reliably for writers, as there can only be a single writer holding the lock, and its task struct is stored in the owner field. The main challenge lies with readers. The owner field points to only one of many concurrent readers, so we might lose track of the blocker if that specific reader unlocks, even while others remain. This is not a significant issue, however. In practice, long-lasting lock contention is almost always caused by a writer. Therefore, reliably tracking the writer is the primary goal of this patch series ;) With this change, the hung task detector can now show blocker task's info like below: [Fri Jun 27 15:21:34 2025] INFO: task cat:28631 blocked for more than 122 seconds.

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 reStructuredText 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.
