4 * Reader/writer consistent mechanism without starving writers. This type of
5 * lock for data where the reader wants a consistent set of information
6 * and is willing to retry if the information changes. There are two types
8 * 1. Sequence readers which never block a writer but they may have to retry
9 * if a writer is in progress by detecting change in sequence number.
10 * Writers do not wait for a sequence reader.
11 * 2. Locking readers which will wait if a writer or another locking reader
12 * is in progress. A locking reader in progress will also block a writer
13 * from going forward. Unlike the regular rwlock, the read lock here is
14 * exclusive so that only one locking reader can get it.
16 * This is not as cache friendly as brlock. Also, this may not work well
17 * for data that contains pointers, because any writer could
18 * invalidate a pointer that a reader was following.
20 * Expected non-blocking reader usage:
22 * seq = read_seqbegin(&foo);
24 * } while (read_seqretry(&foo, seq));
27 * On non-SMP the spin locks disappear but the writer still needs
28 * to increment the sequence variables because an interrupt routine could
29 * change the state of the data.

284 * raw_write_seqcount_latch - redirect readers to even/odd copy
285 * @s: pointer to seqcount_t
287 * The latch technique is a multiversion concurrency control method that allows
288 * queries during non-atomic modifications. If you can guarantee queries never
289 * interrupt the modification -- e.g. the concurrency is strictly between CPUs
290 * -- you most likely do not need this.
292 * Where the traditional RCU/lockless data structures rely on atomic
293 * modifications to ensure queries observe either the old or the new state the
294 * latch allows the same for non-atomic updates. The trade-off is doubling the
295 * cost of storage; we have to maintain two copies of the entire data
298 * Very simply put: we first modify one copy and then the other. This ensures
299 * there is always one copy in a stable state, ready to give us an answer.
301 * The basic form is a data structure like:
303 * struct latch_struct {
305 * struct data_struct data[2];
308 * Where a modification, which is assumed to be externally serialized, does the
311 * void latch_modify(struct latch_struct *latch, ...)
313 * smp_wmb(); <- Ensure that the last data[1] update is visible
315 * smp_wmb(); <- Ensure that the seqcount update is visible
317 * modify(latch->data[0], ...);
319 * smp_wmb(); <- Ensure that the data[0] update is visible
321 * smp_wmb(); <- Ensure that the seqcount update is visible
323 * modify(latch->data[1], ...);
326 * The query will have a form like:
328 * struct entry *latch_query(struct latch_struct *latch, ...)
330 * struct entry *entry;
334 * seq = lockless_dereference(latch->seq);
337 * entry = data_query(latch->data[idx], ...);
340 * } while (seq != latch->seq);
345 * So during the modification, queries are first redirected to data[1]. Then we
346 * modify data[0]. When that is complete, we redirect queries back to data[0]
347 * and we can modify data[1].
349 * NOTE: The non-requirement for atomic modifications does _NOT_ include
350 * the publishing of new entries in the case where data is a dynamic
353 * An iteration might start in data[0] and get suspended long enough
354 * to miss an entire modification sequence, once it resumes it might
355 * observe the new entry.
357 * NOTE: When data is a dynamic data structure; one should use regular RCU
358 * patterns to manage the lifetimes of the objects within.
