[PATCH v3 14/20] afs: Use scoped_seqlock_read() rather than manually doing seqlock stuff

From: David Howells

Date: Thu Jun 18 2026 - 11:56:01 EST


This is an addendum to the patch to remove the erroneous seq |= 1 in volume
lookup loop.

Switch to using scoped_seqlock_read() as suggested by Oleg Nesterov[1].
