    [PATCH] use seq_lock for monotonic time · b508cfda
    Stephen Hemminger authored
    Monotonic clock code uses reader/writer lock which is prone to same
    starvation problems as we saw with xtime.  This patch changes it to seq_lock
    which is faster and won't starve writers in face of lots of readers.
