[PATCH 10/10] seqlock: Add do_read_seqcount_retry() in front of seqcount_lockdep_reader_access() in read_seqbegin()

From: jiasheng
Date: Wed Sep 01 2021 - 22:17:14 EST


We have found that in the complied files seqcount_lockdep_reader_access()
appear more than 20 times, and under at least 90% circumstances
that do_read_seqcount_retry() and seqcount_lockdep_reader_access()
appear in pairs.
For example, they appear together in the irqfd_wakeup()
of the file complie from 'virt/kvm/eventfd.c'.
But we have found that in the read_seqbegin(), there is only
seqcount_lockdep_reader_access() instead of the pair.
Therefore, we consider that the do_read_seqcount_retry()
might be forgotten.
