coroutine-lock: Reimplement CoRwlock to fix downgrade bug An invariant of the current rwlock is that if multiple coroutines hold a reader lock, all must be runnable. The unlock implementation relies on this, choosing to wake a single coroutine when the final read lock holder exits the critical section, assuming that it will wake a coroutine attempting to acquire a write lock. The downgrade implementation violates this assumption by creating a read lock owning coroutine that is exclusively runnable - any other coroutines that are waiting to acquire a read lock are *not* made runnable when the write lock holder converts its ownership to read only. More in general, the old implementation had lots of other fairness bugs. The root cause of the bugs was that CoQueue would wake up readers even if there were pending writers, and would wake up writers even if there were readers. In that case, the coroutine would go back to sleep *at the end* of the CoQueue, losing its place at the head of the line. To fix this, keep the queue of waiters explicitly in the CoRwlock instead of using CoQueue, and store for each whether it is a potential reader or a writer. This way, downgrade can look at the first queued coroutines and wake it only if it is a reader, causing all other readers in line to be released in turn.

The root cause of the bugs was that CoQueue would wake up readers even if there were pending writers, and would wake up writers even if there were readers. In that case, the coroutine would go back to sleep *at the end* of the CoQueue, losing its place at the head of the line. To fix this, keep the queue of waiters explicitly in the CoRwlock instead of using CoQueue, and store for each whether it is a potential reader or a writer. This way, downgrade can look at the first queued coroutines and wake it only if it is a reader, causing all other readers in line to be released in turn.

coroutine-lock: Reimplement CoRwlock to fix downgrade bug An invariant of the current rwlock is that if multiple coroutines hold a reader lock, all must be runnable. The unlock implementation relies on this, choosing to wake a single coroutine when the final read lock holder exits the critical section, assuming that it will wake a coroutine attempting to acquire a write lock. The downgrade implementation violates this assumption by creating a read lock owning coroutine that is exclusively runnable - any other coroutines that are waiting to acquire a read lock are *not* made runnable when the write lock holder converts its ownership to read only. More in general, the old implementation had lots of other fairness bugs.
