[PATCH v2 00/18] seqlock: Extend seqcount API with associated locks

Hi,

This is v2 of the seqlock patch series:

[PATCH v1 00/25] seqlock: Extend seqcount API with associated locks
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200519214547.352050-1-a.darwish@linutronix.de

Patches 1=>3 of this v2 series add documentation for the existing
seqlock.h datatypes and APIs. Hopefully they can hit v5.8 -rc2 or -rc3.

Changelog-v2
============

1. Drop, for now, the seqlock v1 patches #7 and #8. These patches added
lockdep non-preemptibility checks to seqcount_t write paths, but they
now depend on on-going work by Peter:

[PATCH v3 0/5] lockdep: Change IRQ state tracking to use per-cpu variables
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200529213550.683440625@infradead.org

[PATCH 00/14] x86/entry: disallow #DB more and x86/entry lockdep/nmi
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200529212728.795169701@infradead.org

Once Peter's work get merged, I'll send the non-preemptibility checks as
a separate series.

2. Drop the v1 seqcount_t call-sites bugfixes. I've already posted them
in an isolated series. They got merged into their respective trees, and
will hit v5.8-rc1 soon:

[PATCH v2 0/6] seqlock: seqcount_t call sites bugfixes
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200603144949.1122421-1-a.darwish@linutronix.de

3. Patch #1: Add a small paragraph explaining that seqcount_t/seqlock_t
cannot be used if the protected data contains pointers. A similar
paragraph already existed in seqlock.h, but got mistakenly dropped.

4. Patch #2: Don't add RST directives inside kernel-doc comments. Peter
doesn't like them :) I've kept the indentation though, and found a
minimal way for Sphinx to properly render these code samples without too
much disruption.

5. Patch #3: Brush up the introduced kernel-doc comments. Make them more
consistent overall, and more concise.

Thanks,
