[PATCH RT 07/24] seqlock: provide the same ordering semantics as mainline

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Date: 2018-09-07 21:00:54
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: locking primitives, the rest · Maintainers: Peter Zijlstra, Ingo Molnar, Will Deacon, Boqun Feng, Linus Torvalds

4.14.63-rt41-rc2 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Julia Cartwright <redacted>

[ Upstream commit afa4c06b89a3c0fb7784ff900ccd707bef519cb7 ]

The mainline implementation of read_seqbegin() orders prior loads w.r.t.
the read-side critical section.  Fixup the RT writer-boosting
implementation to provide the same guarantee.

Also, while we're here, update the usage of ACCESS_ONCE() to use
READ_ONCE().
