Subject: [PATCH 10/10] seqlock: Add do_read_seqcount_retry() in front of seqcount_lockdep_reader_access() in read_seqbegin()
Date: Thu,  2 Sep 2021 03:37:56 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1630553876-484166-1-git-send-email-jiasheng@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)

We have found that in the complied files seqcount_lockdep_reader_access()
appear more than 20 times, and under at least 90% circumstances
that do_read_seqcount_retry() and seqcount_lockdep_reader_access()
appear in pairs.
For example, they appear together in the irqfd_wakeup()
of the file complie from 'virt/kvm/eventfd.c'.
But we have found that in the read_seqbegin(), there is only
seqcount_lockdep_reader_access() instead of the pair.
Therefore, we consider that the do_read_seqcount_retry()
might be forgotten.
