Sorry for confusion. I never said that the 2nd locked pass makes no sense.
My only point is that rxrpc_find_service_conn_rcu() (and more) use
read_seqbegin_or_lock() incorrectly. They can use read_seqbegin() and this
won't change the current behaviour.
So lets change these users first? Then we can discuss the possible changes
in include/linux/seqlock.h and (perhaps) update the users which actually
want the locking on the 2nd pass.
Oleg.
