[lttng-dev] Query on the rculist

Hi List,

   I noticed that there are just few functions suffixed with rcu for
rculist. And from the source of Linux kernel rculist, I came up with
some comments saying that list_empty_rcu() can be simply achieved by
calling list_empty(). Is this true to urcu too? My questions is, are
following equivalents true?

  list_empty_rcu -> list_empty
  list_del_init_rcu -> list_del_init

If there are more equivalents, please show light on it.

Thanks,
Yuan
