If the filter was previously active,\nthe code moved psf directly into pmc->mca_tomb by updating psf->sf_next.\n\nBecause pmc->mca_sources is traversed locklessly under RCU (e.g. by\nipv6_chk_mcast_addr()), mutating psf->sf_next before a grace period\nelapses diverts concurrent readers to the tombstone list.
