So if the "next" pointer is accessed with hlist_next_rcu() macro, the __rcu annotation will be added to the pointer. As a consequence, sparse warning is eliminated too. The similar errors also appear in hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu() and hlist_for_each_entry_from_rcu(). In this version, CC more people like Paul E. McKenney and lkml mail list.
