4 * Lock-less NULL terminated single linked list
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.
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.
24 * This can be summarized as follows:
26 * | add | del_first | del_all
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.
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.
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.
