Feature #3399

Updated by Vladimir Gratinskiy about 12 years ago

It is necessary to use semaphore correctly. This rule checks usage of functions  
 up_read, down_read, up_write, down_write, down_read_trylock, down_write_trylock, downgrade_write, down_read_nested, down_write_nested. 

 *    - multiple write locks are not permitted 
    - multiple write unlocks are not permitted 

 *    - read lock is not permitted after write lock 
    - write lock is not permitted after read lock 

 *    - read and write locks must be free at the end 

 Commit 82163edcdf on torvalds fix the last one.
