 quote 1 from

 Upgradable Mutexes / What's An Upgradable Mutex? / Upgradable lock:

 (...)If a thread acquires an upgradable lock, other threads '''can'''
 acquire a sharable lock.(...)
 - (true)


 quote 2 from

 Upgradable Mutexes / Upgradable Mutex Operations / Sharable Locking:

 void lock_sharable()

 Effects: The calling thread tries to obtain sharable ownership of the
 mutex, and if another thread has exclusive '''or upgradable''' ownership
 of the mutex, '''waits until it can''' obtain the ownership.
 - (false for upgradable ownership)

 in lock_sharable(), try_lock_sharable(), timed_lock_sharable() etc.
