+ * @node: the fist entry of deleted list entries.

+ * In general, some entries of the lock-less list can be traversed
+ * safely only after being removed from list, so start with an entry
+ * instead of list head. This variant allows removal of entries
+ * as we iterate.
+ *
+ * If being used on entries deleted from lock-less list directly, the
+ * traverse order is from the newest to the oldest added entry. If
+ * you want to traverse from the oldest to the newest, you must
+ * reverse the order by yourself before traversing.
