Latch sequence counters have unique read and write APIs, and thus seqcount_latch_t was recently introduced at seqlock.h. Use that new data type instead of plain seqcount_t. This adds the necessary type-safety and ensures that only latching-safe seqcount APIs are to be used. Signed-off-by: Ahmed S.

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.
