FWIW, Seqlocks were simply NOT designed with a lot of writers in
mind. A lot of writers wrt RCU doesn't really cast terrible effects on
the read-side performance. Therefore, I do not really understand
your point for a Seqlock is not meant for a lot of writers!

If you came up with a rwlock that can beat RCU read side, well, then
you may have something neat here. Have you tested against a well
engineered RCU implementation? FWIW, I cannot beat RCU with
any traditional rwlock. A possible exception to this would be Dmitry
Vyukov's EXCELLENT asymmetric rwlock. However, this would hardly
be traditional!   ;^D


AFAICT, the key is in the clever asymmetry between readers and
writers...
