So I missed something interesting here ;-)

If @pos is the last item of the list of the index/cpu, and
dlock_list_next_entry() will eventually call __dlock_list_next_list(),
which will drop the lock for the current list and grab the lock for the
next list, leaving @pos unprotected. But in the meanwhile, there could
be another thread deleting @pos via dlock_lists_del() and freeing it.
This is a use-after-free.
I think we can have something like:
(by adding a ->prev_entry in dlock_list_iter and severl helper
functions.)
bool dlist_is_last_perlist(struct dlock_list_node *n)
{
return list_is_last(&n->list, &n->head->list);
}
void dlock_list_release_prev(struct dlock_list_iter *iter)
{
spin_unlock(iter->prev_entry->lock);
iter->prev_entry = NULL;
}
#define dlist_for_each_entry_safe(pos, n, iter, member) \
for (pos = dlock_list_first_entry(iter, typeof(*(pos)), member); \
({ \
bool _b = (pos != NULL); \
if (_b) { \
if (dlist_is_last_perlist(&(pos)->member)) { \
iter->prev_entry = iter->entry; \
iter->entry = NULL; \
n = dlock_list_first_entry(NULL, iter, member); \
} \
else \
n = dlock_list_next_entry(pos, iter, member); \
} \
_b; \
}); \
pos = n, iter->prev_entry && dlock_list_release_prev(iter))
Of course, the dlock_list_first_entry() here may need a better name ;-)
Thoughts?
