Subject: [PATCH 4.4 094/131] Add hlist_add_tail_rcu() (Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net)

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David S. Miller <davem@...emloft.net>

commit 1602f49b58abcb0d34a5f0a29d68e7c1769547aa upstream.

[This commit was a merge, but it added hlist_add_tail_rcu(), which is what we
 need in this stable tree, so I've changed the subject to be more descriptive

+ * Adds the specified element to the specified hlist,
+ * while permitting racing traversals.
+ *
+ * The caller must take whatever precautions are necessary
+ * (such as holding appropriate locks) to avoid racing
+ * with another list-mutation primitive, such as hlist_add_head_rcu()
+ * or hlist_del_rcu(), running on this same list.
+ * However, it is perfectly legal to run concurrently with
+ * the _rcu list-traversal primitives, such as
+ * hlist_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().
