   4 * Lock-less NULL terminated single linked list
   5 *
   6 * Cases where locking is not needed:
   7 * If there are multiple producers and multiple consumers, llist_add can be
   8 * used in producers and llist_del_all can be used in consumers simultaneously
   9 * without locking. Also a single consumer can use llist_del_first while
  10 * multiple producers simultaneously use llist_add, without any locking.
  11 *
  12 * Cases where locking is needed:
  13 * If we have multiple consumers with llist_del_first used in one consumer, and
  14 * llist_del_first or llist_del_all used in other consumers, then a lock is
  15 * needed.  This is because llist_del_first depends on list->first->next not
  16 * changing, but without lock protection, there's no way to be sure about that
  17 * if a preemption happens in the middle of the delete operation and on being
  18 * preempted back, the list->first is the same as before causing the cmpxchg in
  19 * llist_del_first to succeed. For example, while a llist_del_first operation
  20 * is in progress in one consumer, then a llist_del_first, llist_add,
  21 * llist_add (or llist_del_all, llist_add, llist_add) sequence in another
  22 * consumer may cause violations.
  23 *
  24 * This can be summarized as follows:
  25 *
  26 *           |   add    | del_first |  del_all
  27 * add       |    -     |     -     |     -
  28 * del_first |          |     L     |     L
  29 * del_all   |          |           |     -
  30 *
  31 * Where, a particular row's operation can happen concurrently with a column's
  32 * operation, with "-" being no lock needed, while "L" being lock is needed.
  33 *
  34 * The list entries deleted via llist_del_all can be traversed with
  35 * traversing function such as llist_for_each etc.  But the list
  36 * entries can not be traversed safely before deleted from the list.
  37 * The order of deleted entries is from the newest to the oldest added
  38 * one.  If you want to traverse from the oldest to the newest, you
  39 * must reverse the order by yourself before traversing.
  40 *
  41 * The basic atomic operation of this list is cmpxchg on long.  On
  42 * architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation, the
  43 * list can NOT be used in NMI handlers.  So code that uses the list in
  44 * an NMI handler should depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.
