/*
* Reader/writer consistent mechanism without starving writers. This type of
* lock for data where the reader wants a consistent set of information
* and is willing to retry if the information changes. Readers never
* block but they may have to retry if a writer is in
* progress. Writers do not wait for readers.
*
* This is not as cache friendly as brlock. Also, this will not work
* for data that contains pointers, because any writer could
* invalidate a pointer that a reader was following.
*
* Expected reader usage:
* do {
* seq = read_seqbegin(&foo);
* ...
* } while (read_seqretry(&foo, seq));
*
*
* On non-SMP the spin locks disappear but the writer still needs
* to increment the sequence variables because an interrupt routine could
* change the state of the data.
*
* Based on x86_64 vsyscall gettimeofday
* by Keith Owens and Andrea Arcangeli

seqlock: Don't smp_rmb in seqlock reader spin loop Move the smp_rmb after cpu_relax loop in read_seqlock and add ACCESS_ONCE to make sure the test and return are consistent. A multi-threaded core in the lab didn't like the update from 2.6.35 to 2.6.36, to the point it would hang during boot when multiple threads were active. Bisection showed af5ab277ded04bd9bc6b048c5a2f0e7d70ef0867 (clockevents: Remove the per cpu tick skew) as the culprit and it is supported with stack traces showing xtime_lock waits including tick_do_update_jiffies64 and/or update_vsyscall. Experimentation showed the combination of cpu_relax and smp_rmb was significantly slowing the progress of other threads sharing the core, and this patch is effective in avoiding the hang. A theory is the rmb is affecting the whole core while the cpu_relax is causing a resource rebalance flush, together they cause an interfernce cadance that is unbroken when the seqlock reader has interrupts disabled. At first I was confused why the refactor in 3c22cd5709e8143444a6d08682a87f4c57902df3 (kernel: optimise seqlock) didn't affect this patch application, but after some study that affected seqcount not seqlock. The new seqcount was not factored back into the seqlock. I defer that the future. While the removal of the timer interrupt offset created contention for the xtime lock while a cpu does the additonal work to update the system clock, the seqlock implementation with the tight rmb spin loop goes back much further, and is just waiting for the right trigger.
