seqlock: seqcount_t latch: End read sections with read_seqcount_retry() The seqcount_t latch reader example at the raw_write_seqcount_latch() kernel-doc comment ends the latch read section with a manual smp memory barrier and sequence counter comparison. This is technically correct, but it is suboptimal: read_seqcount_retry() already contains the same logic of an smp memory barrier and sequence counter comparison. End the latch read critical section example with read_seqcount_retry(). Signed-off-by: Ahmed S.
