顺序锁

顺序锁与读写自旋锁非常类似，只是赋予了写者较高的优先级：即使在读者正在读的时候也允许写者继续运行。这样的好处是写者不用等待（除非另一个写者正在写），缺点是有些时候读者不得不反复多次读相同的数据直到它获得有效的副本。

每个顺序锁就是包括两个字段的seqlock_t结构：一个类型为spinlock_t的lock字段和一个整型类型的sequence字段，第二个字段是一个顺序计数器。每个读者都必须在读数据前后两次读顺序计数器，并检查两次读到的值是否相同，如果不相同，说明新的写者已经开始写并增加了顺序计数器，因此暗示读者刚读到的数据是无效的。

以下是Linux-2.6.30版本实现seqlock.h代码：

#ifndef __LINUX_SEQLOCK_H
#define __LINUX_SEQLOCK_H
/*
 * Reader/writer consistent mechanism without starving writers. This type of
 * lock for data where the reader wants a consistent set of information
 * and is willing to retry if the information changes.  Readers never
 * block but they may have to retry if a writer is in
 * progress. Writers do not wait for readers. 
 *
 * This is not as cache friendly as brlock. Also, this will not work
 * for data that contains pointers, because any writer could
 * invalidate a pointer that a reader was following.
 *
 * Expected reader usage:
 *  do {
 *      seq = read_seqbegin(&foo);
 *  ...
 *      } while (read_seqretry(&foo, seq));
 *
 *
 * On non-SMP the spin locks disappear but the writer still needs
 * to increment the sequence variables because an interrupt routine could
 * change the state of the data.
 *
 * Based on x86_64 vsyscall gettimeofday 
 * by Keith Owens and Andrea Arcangeli

用法示例：

/*
写者:
write_seqlock(seq);
修改keyvalue
write_sequnlock(seq);
 
读者:
do {
    seq = read_seqbegin(&foo);
    读取keyvalue
} while (read_seqretry(&foo, seq));
*/
