+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+This is a centralized write-biased reader-writer lock. It
+requires very little space overhead and has a low latency
+fast path. Write-side recursion requires usage of ck_rwlock_recursive.
+Read-side recursion is disallowed. The
+.Fn ck_rwlock_write_downgrade
+function degrades the caller's write-side acquisition to a read-side
+acquisition without forfeit of current critical section.
