    11There is one thing that needs to be understood about the proposed upgrade operation. If more than one reader request upgrade, then either all deadlock or all but one lose the lock.

    3 When the fibril loses the lock in the middle of upgrade, how should it behave? Should it just fail and return, or should it behave as an unlock-writelock sequence? Either case needs code to handle the fail case, which makes this operation a pure performance optimization; one that can lead to really nasty bugs if misunderstood by someone.
