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. Readers never
7 * block but they may have to retry if a writer is in
8 * progress. Writers do not wait for readers.
10 * This is not as cache friendly as brlock. Also, this will not work
11 * for data that contains pointers, because any writer could
12 * invalidate a pointer that a reader was following.
14 * Expected reader usage:
15 * do {
16 * seq = read_seqbegin(&foo);
17 * ...
18 * } while (read_seqretry(&foo, seq));
21 * On non-SMP the spin locks disappear but the writer still needs
22 * to increment the sequence variables because an interrupt routine could
23 * change the state of the data.
25 * Based on x86_64 vsyscall gettimeofday
26 * by Keith Owens and Andrea Arcangeli
