13 * hlist_nulls_del_init_rcu - deletes entry from hash list with re-initialization
14 * @n: the element to delete from the hash list.
16 * Note: hlist_nulls_unhashed() on the node return true after this. It is
17 * useful for RCU based read lockfree traversal if the writer side
18 * must know if the list entry is still hashed or already unhashed.
20 * In particular, it means that we can not poison the forward pointers
21 * that may still be used for walking the hash list and we can only
22 * zero the pprev pointer so list_unhashed() will return true after
23 * this.
25 * The caller must take whatever precautions are necessary (such as
26 * holding appropriate locks) to avoid racing with another
27 * list-mutation primitive, such as hlist_nulls_add_head_rcu() or
28 * hlist_nulls_del_rcu(), running on this same list. However, it is
29 * perfectly legal to run concurrently with the _rcu list-traversal
30 * primitives, such as hlist_nulls_for_each_entry_rcu().

87 * problems on Alpha CPUs. Regardless of the type of CPU, the
