+ * Lock-less NULL terminated single linked list
+ *
+ * If there are multiple producers and multiple consumers, llist_add
+ * can be used in producers and llist_del_all can be used in
+ * consumers. They can work simultaneously without lock. But
+ * llist_del_first can not be used here. Because llist_del_first
+ * depends on list->first->next does not changed if list->first is not
+ * changed during its operation, but llist_del_first, llist_add,
+ * llist_add (or llist_del_all, llist_add, llist_add) sequence in
+ * another consumer may violate that.
+ *
+ * If there are multiple producers and one consumer, llist_add can be
+ * used in producers and llist_del_all or llist_del_first can be used
+ * in the consumer.
+ *
+ * This can be summarized as follow:
+ *
+ * | add | del_first | del_all
+ * add | - | - | -
+ * del_first | | L | L
+ * del_all | | | -
+ *
+ * Where "-" stands for no lock is needed, while "L" stands for 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 handler. So code uses the list in NMI
+ * handler should depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.
