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