.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
list_safe_reset_next is not safe to use in general if the list may be modified concurrently (eg\&. the lock is dropped in the loop body)\&. An exception to this is if the cursor element (pos) is pinned in the list, and list_safe_reset_next is called after re\-taking the lock and before completing the current iteration of the loop body\&.
