Hi Bongkyu,

I have met the same problem as you. After rwsem reader optimistic spin
disabled, DouYin(or TikTok as you know, is one of the top applicaitons),
it's uninterruptible sleep (non-io) time increased during cold launch.
With the patch set you provide, the blocked time can be reduce from
122.6ms to 59.3ms(we test it in our mobile device with SM8650 core). Now
I'm trying to use vendor hook in GKI to restore the reader spin, and
john said I can share my test result to you here.

Thanks,
Liujie
