sched_clock uses seqcount_t latching to switch between two storage places protected by the sequence counter. This allows it to have interruptible, NMI-safe, seqcount_t write side critical sections. Since7fc26327b7("seqlock: Introduce raw_read_seqcount_latch()"), raw_read_seqcount_latch() became the standardized way for seqcount_t latch read paths. Due to the dependent load, it has one read memory barrier less than the currently used raw_read_seqcount() API. Use raw_read_seqcount_latch() for the suspend path. Commitaadd6e5caa("time/sched_clock: Use raw_read_seqcount_latch()") missed changing that instance of raw_read_seqcount().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
