#ifndef LLIST_H

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