   2  * Lock-less NULL terminated single linked list
   3  *
   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.
