Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] mm/slab: break up RCU readers on SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU example code
Date:   Sat, 15 Apr 2023 03:31:59 +0000

The SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU example code snippet is having not tiny RCU
read-side critical section.  'Documentation/RCU/rculist_nulls.rst' has
similar example code snippet, and commit da82af04352b ("doc: Update and
wordsmith rculist_nulls.rst") has broken it.  Apply the change to
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU example code snippet, too.

  * stays valid, the trick to using this is relying on an independent
  * object validation pass. Something like:
  *
+ * begin:
  *  rcu_read_lock();
- * again:
  *  obj = lockless_lookup(key);
  *  if (obj) {
  *    if (!try_get_ref(obj)) // might fail for free objects
- *      goto again;
+ *      rcu_read_unlock();
+ *      goto begin;
  *
  *    if (obj->key != key) { // not the object we expected
  *      put_ref(obj);
- *      goto again;

  *    }
