The seqlock.h seqcount_t and seqlock_t API definitions are presented in
the chronological order of their development rather than the order that
makes most sense to readers. This makes it hard to follow and understand
the header file code.
Group and reorder all of the exported seqlock.h functions according to
their function.
First, group together the seqcount_t standard read path functions:
- __read_seqcount_begin()
- raw_read_seqcount_begin()
- read_seqcount_begin()
since each function is implemented exactly in terms of the one above
it. Then, group the special-case seqcount_t readers on their own as:
- raw_read_seqcount()
- raw_seqcount_begin()
since the only difference between the two functions is that the second
one masks the sequence counter LSB while the first one does not. Note
that raw_seqcount_begin() can actually be implemented in terms of
raw_read_seqcount(), which will be done in a follow-up commit.
Then, group the seqcount_t write path functions, instead of injecting
unrelated seqcount_t latch functions between them, and order them as:
- raw_write_seqcount_begin()
- raw_write_seqcount_end()
- write_seqcount_begin_nested()
- write_seqcount_begin()
- write_seqcount_end()
- raw_write_seqcount_barrier()
- write_seqcount_invalidate()
which is the expected natural order. This also isolates the seqcount_t
latch functions into their own area, at the end of the sequence counters
section, and before jumping to the next one: sequential locks
(seqlock_t).
Do a similar grouping and reordering for seqlock_t "locking" readers vs.
the "conditionally locking or lockless" ones.
No implementation code was changed in any of the reordering above.
