Hi,
This is v2 of the seqlock patch series:
[PATCH v1 00/25] seqlock: Extend seqcount API with associated locks https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200519214547.352050-1-a.darwish@linutronix.de
Patches 1=>3 of this v2 series add documentation for the existing seqlock.h datatypes and APIs. Hopefully they can hit v5.8 -rc2 or -rc3.
Changelog-v2 ============
1. Drop, for now, the seqlock v1 patches #7 and #8. These patches added lockdep non-preemptibility checks to seqcount_t write paths, but they now depend on on-going work by Peter:
[PATCH v3 0/5] lockdep: Change IRQ state tracking to use per-cpu variables https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200529213550.683440625@infradead.org
[PATCH 00/14] x86/entry: disallow #DB more and x86/entry lockdep/nmi https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200529212728.795169701@infradead.org
Once Peter's work get merged, I'll send the non-preemptibility checks as a separate series.
2. Drop the v1 seqcount_t call-sites bugfixes. I've already posted them in an isolated series. They got merged into their respective trees, and will hit v5.8-rc1 soon:
[PATCH v2 0/6] seqlock: seqcount_t call sites bugfixes https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200603144949.1122421-1-a.darwish@linutronix.d...
3. Patch #1: Add a small paragraph explaining that seqcount_t/seqlock_t cannot be used if the protected data contains pointers. A similar paragraph already existed in seqlock.h, but got mistakenly dropped.
4. Patch #2: Don't add RST directives inside kernel-doc comments. Peter doesn't like them :) I've kept the indentation though, and found a minimal way for Sphinx to properly render these code samples without too much disruption.
5. Patch #3: Brush up the introduced kernel-doc comments. Make them more consistent overall, and more concise.
Thanks,
