[PATCH 08/15] seqlock: provide the same ordering semantics as mainline

From: Tom Zanussi
Date: Thu Aug 02 2018 - 18:26:38 EST


From: Julia Cartwright <julia@xxxxxx>

The mainline implementation of read_seqbegin() orders prior loads w.r.t.
the read-side critical section. Fixup the RT writer-boosting
implementation to provide the same guarantee.

Also, while we're here, update the usage of ACCESS_ONCE() to use
READ_ONCE().
