2 * Lock-less NULL terminated single linked list
4 * The basic atomic operation of this list is cmpxchg on long. On
5 * architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation, the
6 * list can NOT be used in NMI handlers. So code that uses the list in
7 * an NMI handler should depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.
