4.9.61-rt52-rc2 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> i_dir_seq is an opencoded seqcounter. Based on the code it looks like we could have two writers in parallel despite the fact that the d_lock is held. The problem is that during the write process on RT the preemption is still enabled and if this process is interrupted by a reader with RT priority then we lock up. To avoid that lock up I am disabling the preemption during the update. The rename of i_dir_seq is here to ensure to catch new write sides in future.
