and in the end we just call the `spin_unlock` macro to give access for other readers or writers.
That's all about `sequential lock` mechanism in the Linux kernel. Of course we did not consider full [API](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_programming_interface) of this mechanism in this part. But all other functions are based on these which we described here. For example, Linux kernel also provides some safe macros/functions to use `sequential lock` mechanism in [interrupt handlers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrupt_handler) of [softirq](https://0xax.gitbooks.io/linux-insides/content/interrupts/interrupts-9.html): `write_seqclokc_irq` and `write_sequnlock_irq`:
