[PATCH RT 18/25][RFC 3.0.23-rt39-rc1] net: u64_stat: Protect seqcount

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Date: 2012-03-06 16:21:59
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

From: Thomas Gleixner <redacted>

On RT we must prevent that the writer gets preempted inside the write
section. Otherwise a preempting reader might spin forever.
