4 * Lock-less NULL terminated single linked list
5 *
6 * If there are multiple producers and multiple consumers, llist_add
7 * can be used in producers and llist_del_all can be used in
8 * consumers. They can work simultaneously without lock. But
9 * llist_del_first can not be used here. Because llist_del_first
10 * depends on list->first->next does not changed if list->first is not
11 * changed during its operation, but llist_del_first, llist_add,
12 * llist_add (or llist_del_all, llist_add, llist_add) sequence in
13 * another consumer may violate that.
14 *
15 * If there are multiple producers and one consumer, llist_add can be
16 * used in producers and llist_del_all or llist_del_first can be used
17 * in the consumer.
18 *
19 * This can be summarized as follow:
20 *
21 * | add | del_first | del_all
22 * add | - | - | -
23 * del_first | | L | L
24 * del_all | | | -
25 *
26 * Where "-" stands for no lock is needed, while "L" stands for lock
27 * is needed.
28 *
29 * The list entries deleted via llist_del_all can be traversed with
30 * traversing function such as llist_for_each etc. But the list
31 * entries can not be traversed safely before deleted from the list.
32 * The order of deleted entries is from the newest to the oldest added
33 * one. If you want to traverse from the oldest to the newest, you
34 * must reverse the order by yourself before traversing.
35 *
36 * The basic atomic operation of this list is cmpxchg on long. On
37 * architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation, the
38 * list can NOT be used in NMI handler. So code uses the list in NMI
39 * handler should depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.
