list/hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() provides an optional cond argument to specify the lock held in the updater side. However for SRCU read side, not providing the cond argument results into false positive as whether srcu_read_lock is held or not is not checked implicitly. Therefore, on read side the lockdep expression srcu_read_lock_held(srcu struct) can solve this issue. However, the function still fails to check the cases where srcu protected list is traversed with rcu_read_lock() instead of srcu_read_lock(). Therefore, to remove the false negative, this patch introduces two new list traversal primitives : list_for_each_entry_srcu() and hlist_for_each_entry_srcu(). Both of the functions have non-optional cond argument as it is required for both read and update side, and simply checks if the cond is true. For regular read side the lockdep expression srcu_read_lock_head() can be passed as the cond argument to list/hlist_for_each_entry_srcu().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
