From 3c22cd5709e8143444a6d08682a87f4c57902df3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Piggin Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2011 17:49:51 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] kernel: optimise seqlock Add branch annotations for seqlock read fastpath, and introduce __read_seqcount_begin and __read_seqcount_end functions, that can avoid the smp_rmb() if used carefully. These will be used by store-free path walking algorithm performance is critical and seqlocks are in use. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin --- Reading git-format-patch failed
