Hi,
Mostly looks good, one comment below.

This hasn't crashed only because you're using hlist_del_rcu(), otherwise it's
wrong. You should use hlist_for_each_entry_safe() when deleting from the list
while walking it or you should end the walk after the delete since there can't
be two elements with the same address anyway.

Thanks,
