Subject: [PATCH net-next v8 1/3] rculist: Add hlist_nulls_replace_rcu() and hlist_nulls_replace_init_rcu()
Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2025 10:02:34 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251015020236.431822-2-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251015020236.431822-1-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev>
From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@kylinos.cn>
Add two functions to atomically replace RCU-protected hlist_nulls entries.
Keep using WRITE_ONCE() to assign values to ->next and ->pprev, as
mentioned in the patch below:
commit efd04f8a8b45 ("rcu: Use WRITE_ONCE() for assignments to ->next for
rculist_nulls")
commit 860c8802ace1 ("rcu: Use WRITE_ONCE() for assignments to ->pprev for
hlist_nulls")
