Subject: [PATCH] fs/dcache: disable preemption on i_dir_seq's write side
Git-repo: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wagi/linux-stable-rt.git
Git-commit: e14cf4464ab5581e59e3a342a67f4e3672995edd
Patch-mainline: Queued in subsystem maintainer repository
References: SLE Realtime Extension

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.
