[PATCH RT] userfaultfd: Use a seqlock instead of seqcount

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Date: Wed Dec 18 2019 - 11:56:59 EST


On RT write_seqcount_begin() disables preemption which leads to warning
in add_wait_queue() while the spinlock_t is acquired.
The waitqueue can't be converted to swait_queue because
userfaultfd_wake_function() is used as a custom wake function.

Use seqlock instead seqcount to avoid the preempt_disable() section
during add_wait_queue().
