My C++ program needs an intrusive list, possibly with RCU capabilities.The data structure list_head, defined in /usr/include/ linux/list.h , fits perfectly these needs.
You really shouldn't use kernel data structures in userspace. The locking and other primitives they depend on are not guaranteed to work. Also keep in mind that using these structures probably makes your program a derivative of the kernel and would require your software to be released under the GPL.
