FIFO order between * producers is the order in which the xchg() on ->tail serializes them. * * The price for linked-list FIFO is that a push publishes the node in two * steps: the xchg() makes it the new tail, and the subsequent store links it to * its predecessor. In between, the tail end of the queue is not yet reachable * from the head. mpscq_pop() detects this and returns NULL, while mpscq_empty() * reports false. The consumer must not treat such a NULL as "queue empty" - it * should retry later. The window is two instructions wide, but a producer can * be preempted inside it, so the consumer must not spin on it while holding * resources the producer might need to make progress. * * The consumer side only supports a single consumer at a time, callers must * provide their own serialization for it. The stub node is what allows the * consumer to detach the final node without racing with the link stores of * producers. This scheme also guarantees that the previous tail observed by * mpscq_push() cannot be freed by the consumer until the push has linked it, * which is what makes the deferred link store safe. * * The queue struct only holds the producer side. The consumer keeps its cursor * (the oldest not yet handed out node) externally and passes it to mpscq_pop(), * so that it can be placed on a different cacheline: the cursor is written for * every pop, and having it share a line with ->tail would have the consumer * invalidating the line that producers need for every push. */ static inline void mpscq_init(struct mpscq *q, struct llist_node **headp) { q->tail = *headp = &q->stub; q->stub.next = NULL; } /* * Returns true if the queue holds no entries that mpscq_pop() hasn't handed out * yet.
