+dnl From Bruno Haible.
+dnl Inspired by
+dnl https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/testcases/open_posix_testsuite/conformance/interfaces/pthread_rwlock_rdlock/2-2.c
+dnl by Intel Corporation.
+
+dnl Test whether in a situation where
+dnl   - an rwlock is taken by a reader and has a writer waiting,
+dnl   - an additional reader requests the lock,
+dnl   - the waiting writer and the requesting reader threads have the same
+dnl     priority,
+dnl the requesting reader thread gets blocked, so that at some point the
+dnl waiting writer can acquire the lock.
+dnl Without such a guarantee, when there a N readers and each of the readers
+dnl spends more than 1/Nth of the time with the lock held, there is a high
+dnl probability that the waiting writer will not get the lock in a given finite
+dnl time, a phenomenon called "writer starvation".
+dnl Without such a guarantee, applications have a hard time avoiding writer
+dnl starvation.
+dnl
+dnl POSIX:2017 makes this requirement only for implementations that support TPS
+dnl (Thread Priority Scheduling) and only for the scheduling policies SCHED_FIFO
+dnl and SCHED_RR, see
+dnl https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/pthread_rwlock_rdlock.html
+dnl but this test verifies the guarantee regardless of TPS and regardless of
+dnl scheduling policy.
+dnl Glibc does not provide this guarantee (and never will on Linux), see
+dnl https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13701
