Subject: urcu lfstack: pop needs rcu read lock
X-Git-Tag: v0.4.7~1
X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4fc06b7fbadc933271cf1b75e03a923486f7247b;p=userspace-rcu.git

urcu lfstack: pop needs rcu read lock

The pop side needs to hold the RCU read lock to deal with ABA problem.
The push side does not need to hold the RCU read lock because even if the next
item is changed to the same value initially read, the stack will still be
consistent.
