sparse is unhappy about this code in hlist_add_tail_rcu: struct hlist_node *i, *last = NULL; for (i = hlist_first_rcu(h); i; i = hlist_next_rcu(i)) last = i; This is because hlist_next_rcu and hlist_next_rcu return __rcu pointers. It's a false positive - it's a write side primitive and so does not need to be called in a read side critical section. The following trivial patch disables the warning without changing the behaviour in any way. Note: __hlist_for_each_rcu would also remove the warning but it would be confusing since it calls rcu_derefence and is designed to run in the rcu read side critical section. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
