The name of this synchronization primitive is - `seqlock` or `sequential locks`. We know from the previous [part](https://0xax.gitbooks.io/linux-insides/content/SyncPrim/sync-5.html) that [readers-writer lock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Readers%E2%80%93writer_lock) is a special lock mechanism which allows concurrent access for read-only operations, but an exclusive lock is needed for writing or modifying data. As we may guess, it may lead to a problem which is called `writer starvation`. In other words, a writer process can't acquire a lock as long as at least one reader process which acquired a lock holds it. So, in the situation when contention is high, it will lead to situation when a writer process which wants to acquire a lock will wait for it for a long time. @@ -321,7 +321,7 @@ static inline void write_sequnlock_irq(seqlock_t *sl) As we may see, these functions differ only in the initialization of spinlock.
