The RCU iterators used 'rcu_dereference()' on an already-fetched RCU pointer value, which defeats the whole point of the exercise. When we dereference a pointer protected by RCU, we need to make sure that we only fetch the value _once_, because if the compiler ends up re-loading it due to register pressure, the newly reloaded value could be different from the previously fetched one, and you get inconsistent results. Cleaned-up, fixed, and the pointless list_for_each_safe_rcu #define deleted by Paul Kenney. Acked-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
