Subject: seqlock: Introduce raw_read_seqcount_latch()
X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~176^2~1516^2~19
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7fc26327b75685f37f58d64bdb061460f834f80d;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git

seqlock: Introduce raw_read_seqcount_latch()

Because with latches there is a strict data dependency on the seq load
we can avoid the rmb in favour of a read_barrier_depends.
