  29 * SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU - **WARNING** READ THIS!
  30 *
  31 * This delays freeing the SLAB page by a grace period, it does _NOT_
  32 * delay object freeing. This means that if you do kmem_cache_free()
  33 * that memory location is free to be reused at any time. Thus it may
  34 * be possible to see another object there in the same RCU grace period.
  35 *
  36 * This feature only ensures the memory location backing the object
  37 * stays valid, the trick to using this is relying on an independent
  38 * object validation pass. Something like:
  39 *
  40 *  rcu_read_lock()
  41 * again:
  42 *  obj = lockless_lookup(key);
  43 *  if (obj) {
  44 *    if (!try_get_ref(obj)) // might fail for free objects
  45 *      goto again;
  46 *
  47 *    if (obj->key != key) { // not the object we expected
  48 *      put_ref(obj);
  49 *      goto again;
  50 *    }
  51 *  }
  52 *  rcu_read_unlock();
