Linux kernel source tree
cc39f3872c
The read_seqbegin/need_seqretry/done_seqretry API is cumbersome and
error prone. With the new helper the "typical" code like
int seq, nextseq;
unsigned long flags;
nextseq = 0;
do {
seq = nextseq;
flags = read_seqbegin_or_lock_irqsave(&seqlock, &seq);
// read-side critical section
nextseq = 1;
} while (need_seqretry(&seqlock, seq));
done_seqretry_irqrestore(&seqlock, seq, flags);
can be rewritten as
scoped_seqlock_read (&seqlock, ss_lock_irqsave) {
// read-side critical section
}
Original idea by Oleg Nesterov; with contributions from Linus.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
