- * rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe - iterate over rb_root in post order of

+ * rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe - iterate in post-order over rb_root of
+ * given type allowing the backing memory of @pos to be invalidated
*
* @pos: the 'type *' to use as a loop cursor.
* @n: another 'type *' to use as temporary storage
* @root: 'rb_root *' of the rbtree.
* @field: the name of the rb_node field within 'type'.
+ *
+ * rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe() provides a similar guarantee as
+ * list_for_each_entry_safe() and allows the iteration to continue independent
+ * of changes to @pos by the body of the loop.
+ *
+ * Note, however, that it cannot handle other modifications that re-order the
+ * rbtree it is iterating over. This includes calling rb_erase() on @pos, as
+ * rb_erase() may rebalance the tree, causing us to miss some nodes.
