When an RxRPC service packet comes in, the target connection is looked up by an rb-tree search under RCU and a read-locked seqlock; the seqlock retry check is, however, currently skipped if we got a match, but probably shouldn't be in case the connection we found gets replaced whilst we're doing a search. Make the lookup procedure always go through need_seqretry(), even if the lookup was successful. This makes sure we always pick up on a write-lock event. On the other hand, since we don't take a ref on the object, but rely on RCU to prevent its destruction after dropping the seqlock, I'm not sure this is necessary.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
