# list\_for\_each\_safe\_rcu(9)

## NAME

list\_for\_each\_safe\_rcu -

## SYNOPSIS

**list\_for\_each\_safe\_rcu(***pos***,** *n***,** *head***);**

## ARGUMENTS

*pos*

the &struct list\_head to use as a loop cursor.

*n*

another &struct list\_head to use as temporary storage

*head*

the head for your list.

## DESCRIPTION

Iterate over an rcu-protected list, safe against removal of list entry.

This list-traversal primitive may safely run concurrently with the \_rcu list-mutation primitives such as **list\_add\_rcu** as long as the traversal is guarded by **rcu\_read\_lock**.
