A feature 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. As a result of this, a coroutine that downgrades a write lock can later cause unlock to wake a coroutine that is attempting to acquire a read lock rather than one aiming for a write lock, should the coroutines be so ordered in the wait queue. If the wait queue contains both read hopefuls and write hopefuls, any read hopeful coroutine that is woken will immediately go back onto the wait queue when it attempts to acquire the rwlock, due to the pending write acquisition. At this point there are no coroutines holding either read or write locks and no way for the coroutines in the queue to be made runnable. A hang ensues. Address this by using separate queues for coroutines attempting to acquire read and write ownership of the rwlock. When unlocking, prefer to make runnable a coroutine that is waiting for a write lock, but if none is available, make all coroutines waiting to take a read lock runnable.
