When the objects managed by rculist_nulls are allocated with SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU, old readers may still hold references to an object even though it is just now being added, which means the modification of ->next is visible to readers. This patch therefore uses WRITE_ONCE() for assignments to ->next. Signed-off-by: Alan Huang <mmpgouride@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
