Subject[PATCH tip/core/rcu 2/4] list: Use READ_ONCE() when testing for empty lists
Date
Most of the list-empty-check macros (list_empty(), hlist_empty(),
hlist_bl_empty(), hlist_nulls_empty(), and hlist_nulls_empty()) use
an unadorned load to check the list header. Given that these macros
are sometimes invoked without the protection of a lock, this is
not sufficient. This commit therefore adds READ_ONCE() calls to
them. This commit does not touch llist_empty() because it already
has the needed ACCESS_ONCE().
