1 PROPER CARE AND FEEDING OF RETURN VALUES FROM rcu_dereference()
3 Most of the time, you can use values from rcu_dereference() or one of
11 o	You must use one of the rcu_dereference() family of primitives
15 	Without one of the rcu_dereference() primitives, compilers
17 	different values for a single pointer!  Without rcu_dereference(),
22 	In addition, the volatile cast in rcu_dereference() prevents the

37 	Of course, if "p" is a pointer from rcu_dereference(), and "a"

131 		it is safe to compare pointers from rcu_dereference()
166 		rcu_dereference().  In this case, both pointers depend

317 If a pointer obtained from rcu_dereference() compares not-equal to some
321 guarantees that RCU depends on.  And the volatile cast in rcu_dereference()
324 But without rcu_dereference(), the compiler knows more than you might
366 In short, rcu_dereference() is -not- optional when you are going to
