- * hlist_nulls_add_tail_rcu
- * @n: the element to add to the hash list.

- *
- * Description:
- * Adds the specified element to the end of the specified hlist_nulls,
- * while permitting racing traversals.  NOTE: tail insertion requires
- * list traversal.
- *
- * The caller must take whatever precautions are necessary
- * (such as holding appropriate locks) to avoid racing
- * with another list-mutation primitive, such as hlist_nulls_add_head_rcu()
- * or hlist_nulls_del_rcu(), running on this same list.
- * However, it is perfectly legal to run concurrently with
- * the _rcu list-traversal primitives, such as
- * hlist_nulls_for_each_entry_rcu(), used to prevent memory-consistency
- * problems on Alpha CPUs.  Regardless of the type of CPU, the
- * list-traversal primitive must be guarded by rcu_read_lock().
