Are the hash_list rcu functions avoiding all locking problems (even

the one with only one CPU)?


Are there some abstract examples for the use of the hash_{head,list} structures?


Greetz and thanks

Hi Tobias.


What is hash list? hlist? Or list in a hash bucket?


Sorry, my kernel source tree does not know what is 'hash_head'.

What data structure exactly do you mean?
