Steve has it right. To see this, suppose that there are two concurrent
calls to osnoise_unregister_instance() on elements that are adjacent in
the list. The result will of course be a corrupted list. All RCU does
is coordinate between readers on the one hand and updaters on the other.
There must be some non-RCU synchronization between updaters, be this a
lock, some lockless synchronization, there being only one task permitted
to carry out updates, or whatever.
So what prevents concurrent calls to osnoise_unregister_instance()? I am
not seeing anything preventing this is osnoise_tracer_stop(). Is there
some appropriate serialization in the callers of the osnoise_tracer_stop()
function?
