So, I'm a bit confused and I'm very likely missing details (still
digesting the seqprop_ magic), but write_seqcount_being() has

 if (seqprop_preemptible(s))
     preempt_disable();

which in this case (no lock associated) is defined to return false, 
while it should return true on RT (or in some occasions)? Or maybe this
is what you are saying already.

Also, the check for preemption been disabled happens before we can
actually potentially disable it, no?

Thanks for the quick reply!

Best,
Juri
