Subject: [PATCH] fs/dcache: disable preemption on i_dir_seq's write side
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.18/older/patches-4.18.5-rt3.tar.xz

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.
