   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.
