NAME
       list_empty_careful - tests whether a list is


SYNOPSIS
       int list_empty_careful  (const struct list_head * head);


ARGUMENTS
       head   the list to test.


DESCRIPTION
       empty  _and_  checks that no other CPU might be in the process of still
       modifying either member


NOTE
       using list_empty_careful without synchronization can only  be  safe  if
       the  only  activity that can happen to the list entry is list_del_init.
       Eg. it cannot be used if another CPU could re-list_add it.
