Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 2/9] list: Add hlist_unhashed_lockless()
Date: Mon, 9 Dec 2019 20:19:55 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191210042002.3490-2-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191210041938.GA3367@paulmck-ThinkPad-P72>
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
We would like to use hlist_unhashed() from timer_pending(),
which runs without protection of a lock.
Note that other callers might also want to use this variant.
Instead of forcing a READ_ONCE() for all hlist_unhashed()
callers, add a new helper with an explicit _lockless suffix
in the name to better document what is going on.
Also add various WRITE_ONCE() in __hlist_del(), hlist_add_head()
and hlist_add_before()/hlist_add_behind() to pair with
the READ_ONCE().
