That's not enough. The whole chain to look up the pointer you are taking
'next' of needs to be under RCU, and that's not clear from your example.
It's *probably* the case, but basically you have to prove that the starting
point is still on the same RCU list. That wasn't clear from your example.
The above is (as Paul said) true of list_next_rcu() too, so it's not like
this is anything specific to the 'rr' version.
