16 * Some notes on the implementation:
17 *
18 * down_trylock() and up() can be called from interrupt context.
19 * So we have to disable interrupts when taking the lock.
20 *
21 * The ->count variable, if positive, defines how many more tasks can
22 * acquire the semaphore. If negative, it represents how many tasks are
23 * waiting on the semaphore (*). If zero, no tasks are waiting, and no more
24 * tasks can acquire the semaphore.
25 *
26 * (*) Except for the window between one task calling up() and the task
27 * sleeping in a __down_common() waking up. In order to avoid a third task
28 * coming in and stealing the second task's wakeup, we leave the ->count
29 * negative. If we have a more complex situation, the ->count may become
30 * zero or negative (eg a semaphore with count = 2, three tasks attempt to
31 * acquire it, one sleeps, two finish and call up(), the second task to call
32 * up() notices that the list is empty and just increments count).
