29 * SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU - **WARNING** READ THIS!
31 * This delays freeing the SLAB page by a grace period, it does _NOT_
32 * delay object freeing. This means that if you do kmem_cache_free()
33 * that memory location is free to be reused at any time. Thus it may
34 * be possible to see another object there in the same RCU grace period.
36 * This feature only ensures the memory location backing the object
37 * stays valid, the trick to using this is relying on an independent
38 * object validation pass. Something like:
40 * rcu_read_lock()
41 * again:
42 * obj = lockless_lookup(key);
43 * if (obj) {
44 * if (!try_get_ref(obj)) // might fail for free objects
45 * goto again;
47 * if (obj->key != key) { // not the object we expected
48 * put_ref(obj);
49 * goto again;
50 * }
51 * }
52 * rcu_read_unlock();
