  • b4c5bf353   documentation: Record rcu_dereference() value mishandling ... Browse Code ยป

    Recent LKML discussings (see http://lwn.net/Articles/586838/ and
    http://lwn.net/Articles/588300/ for the LWN writeups) brought out
    some ways of misusing the return value from rcu_dereference() that
    are not necessarily completely intuitive. This commit therefore
    documents what can and cannot safely be done with these values.
