Hi, This is v4 of the seqlock patch series: [PATCH v1 00/25] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200519214547.352050-1-a.darwish@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [PATCH v2 00/06] (bugfixes-only, merged) https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200603144949.1122421-1-a.darwish@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [PATCH v2 00/18] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200608005729.1874024-1-a.darwish@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [PATCH v3 00/20] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200630054452.3675847-1-a.darwish@xxxxxxxxxxxxx It is based over: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/peterz/queue.git :: locking/core Changelog ========= - Unconditionally use C11 _Generic() expressions for seqcount_locktype_t switching. Thanks to Peter, pushing for 6ec4476ac825 ("Raise gcc version requirement to 4.9"). - Compress the new seqcount_locktype_t code code by using generative macros, as suggested by Peter here: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200708122938.GQ4800@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Keep *all* functions that are to be invoked by call-sites out of such generative macros though. This simplifies the generative macros code, and (more importantly) make the newly exported seqlock.h API explicit. - Make all documentation "RST-lite", for better readability from text editors. - Add additional clean-ups at the start of the series for better overall readability of seqlock.h code, and for future extensibility. Thanks, 8<-------------- Ahmed S.
