Hi,

For what operations do linked lists require locking in an smp-enabled kernel?

In comments for list_empty_careful() it says it only protects against
a list_del_init(). Also all the safe traversal macros, do they have
any issue with list_add() during traversal? IOW, what can you *not* do
with these safe versions and need a lock?

Thanks,
Bahadir
