2008-04-25	seqlock: livelock fix	Ingo Molnar
	Thomas Gleixner debugged a particularly ugly seqlock related livelock: do not process the seq-read section if we know it beforehand that the test at the end of the section will fail ... Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2007-02-17	Various typo fixes.	Robert P. J. Day

2006-12-12	[PATCH] lockdep: fix seqlock_init()	Ingo Molnar
	seqlock_init() needs to use spin_lock_init() for dynamic locks, so that lockdep is notified about the presence of a new lock. (this is a fallout of the recent networking merge, which started using the so-far unused seqlock_init() API.) This fix solves the following lockdep-internal warning on current -git: INFO: trying to register non-static key. the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation. turning off the locking correctness validator. __lock_acquire+0x10c/0x9f9 lock_acquire+0x56/0x72 _spin_lock+0x35/0x42 neigh_destroy+0x9d/0x12e neigh_periodic_timer+0x10a/0x15c run_timer_softirq+0x126/0x18e __do_softirq+0x6b/0xe6 do_softirq+0x64/0xd2 ksoftirqd+0x82/0x138 Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-04-11	[PATCH] x86_64: inline function prefix with __always_inline in vsyscall	mao, bibo
	In vsyscall function do_vgettimeofday(), some functions are declared as inlined, which is a hint for gcc to compile the function inlined but it not forced. Sometimes compiler does not compile the function as inlined, so here inline is replaced by __always_inline prefix. It does not happen in gcc compiler actually, but it possibly happens.

2003-07-10	[PATCH] i_size atomic access: infrastructure	Andrew Morton
	From: Daniel McNeil <daniel@osdl.org> This adds a sequence counter only version of the reader/writer consistent mechanism to seqlock.h This is used in the second part of this patch give atomic access to i_size.

2003-02-04	[PATCH] seqlock for xtime	Stephen Hemminger
	Add "seqlock" infrastructure for doing low-overhead optimistic reader locks (writer increments a sequence number, reader verifies that no writers came in during the critical region, and lots of careful memory barriers to take care of business). Make xtime/get_jiffies_64() use this new locking.
