The writer atomically updates the counter which ensures that it can be modified by only one writer at a time. This requires preemption to be disabled across the write side critical section. On !PREEMPT_RT kernels this is implicit by the caller acquiring dentry::lock. On PREEMPT_RT kernels spin_lock() does not disable preemption which means that a preempting writer or reader would live lock. It's therefore required to disable preemption explicitly. An alternative solution would be to replace i_dir_seq with a seqlock_t for PREEMPT_RT, but that comes with its own set of problems due to arbitrary lock nesting. A pure sequence count with an associated spinlock is not possible because the locks held by the caller are not necessarily related. As the critical section is small, disabling preemption is a sensible solution.
