 If this list/array is made lock free using RCU as in changing the

-in search_and_reference to rcu_read_lock(), the atomic_get in
-search_and_reference could potentially hold reference to an element which

 has already been deleted from the list/array.  Use atomic_inc_not_zero()
 in this scenario as follows:
