Hi, is there good `suspend`ing equivalent for `ReadWriteLock` in a library anywhere?

There is atomic-fu. It's not suspending but has multiplateform rw locks

Mutex is not the same as ReadWritLock: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Readers–writer_lock|Wiki>. By the way there is no ReadWriteLock in atomicfu

Arg yes, my bad, it's reentrantLock, not rw

I remember an issue with native rw locks but afair it wasn't implemented
