Comment (by bonefish):
Unfortunately I don't have the time to thoroughly read the patch. From a
quick glance: Not using a common waiting queue for readers and writers
means that you can't treat both fairly. In this case it looks like writers
can overtake waiting readers. As I wrote on the commit mailing list, I'd
just replace the semaphore by a mutex and leave the implementation
otherwise unchanged.
