Subject: list-debug variants of rcu list routines.
Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2012 22:17:39 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120315021738.GA31213@redhat.com> (raw)

* Make __list_add_rcu check the next->prev and prev->next pointers
  just like __list_add does.
* Make list_del_rcu use __list_del_entry, which does the same checking
  at deletion time.

Has been running for a week here without anything being tripped up,
but it seems worth adding for completeness just in case something
ever does corrupt those lists.
