A sequence counter write side critical section must be protected by some
form of locking to serialize writers. If the serialization primitive is
not disabling preemption implicitly, preemption has to be explicitly
disabled before entering the sequence counter write side critical
section.
The dma-buf reservation subsystem uses plain sequence counters to manage
updates to reservations. Writer serialization is accomplished through a
wound/wait mutex.
Acquiring a wound/wait mutex does not disable preemption, so this needs
to be done manually before and after the write side critical section.
Use the newly-added seqcount_ww_mutex_t instead:
- It associates the ww_mutex with the sequence count, which enables
lockdep to validate that the write side critical section is properly
serialized.
- It removes the need to explicitly add preempt_disable/enable()
around the write side critical section because the write_begin/end()
functions for this new data type automatically do this.
If lockdep is disabled this ww_mutex lock association is compiled out
and has neither storage size nor runtime overhead.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
