Hi Deepa,

Thanks a lot for the follow-up to our earlier discussion here!

Are we actually worried about concurrent writers here? I thought the
only problem was a race between writer and reader, which would mean
that we could solve it using only a seqcount_t which is cheaper to
update than a seqlock_t.
