From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2012 12:03:30 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 195/354] seqlock: Prevent rt starvation Origin: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/commit?id=a3ba756f999110aa6ca549e1eaa5584bbd16c4ca If a low prio writer gets preempted while holding the seqlock write locked, a high prio reader spins forever on RT. To prevent this let the reader grab the spinlock, so it blocks and eventually boosts the writer. This way the writer can proceed and endless spinning is prevented. For seqcount writers we disable preemption over the update code path. Thanks to Al Viro for distangling some VFS code to make that possible.
