v3.18.117-rt105 rt-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Julia Cartwright <julia@xxxxxx> [ Upstream rt-devel commit afa4c06b89a3c0fb7784ff900ccd707bef519cb7 ] The mainline implementation of read_seqbegin() orders prior loads w.r.t. the read-side critical section. Fixup the RT writer-boosting implementation to provide the same guarantee. Also, while we're here, update the usage of ACCESS_ONCE() to use READ_ONCE().
