+ * cds_lfht_replace - replace a node within hash table.
+ *
+ * Return the node replaced upon success. If no node matching the key
+ * was present, return NULL, which also means the operation succeeded.
+ * This replacement operation should never fail.
+ * Call with rcu_read_lock held.
+ * After successful replacement, a grace period must be waited for before
+ * freeing the memory reserved for the returned node.
+ *
+ * The semantic of replacement vs lookups is the following: if lookups
+ * are performed between a key insertion and its removal, we guarantee
+ * that the lookups will always find the key if it is replaced
+ * concurrently with the lookups. Providing this guarantee require us to
+ * pin the node to remove in place (disallowing any insertion after this
+ * node temporarily) before we can proceed to its exchange with the new
+ * node atomically. This renders the "replace" operation not strictly
+ * lock-free, because a thread crashing in the middle of the replace
+ * operation could stop progress for other updaters.
+ *
+ * Providing this semantic allows us to ensure that replacement-only
+ * schemes will never generate duplicated keys. It also allows us to
+ * guarantee that a combination of replacement and add_unique updates
+ * will never generate duplicated keys.
