2015-07-28klist: implement klist_prev()Andy Shevchenko1-0/+1
klist_prev() gets the previous element in the list. It is useful to traverse through the list in reverse order, for example, to provide LIFO (last in first out) variant of access.

2014-08-07klist: use same naming scheme as hlist for klist_add_after()Ken Helias1-1/+1
The name was modified from hlist_add_after() to hlist_add_behind() when adjusting the order of arguments to match the one with klist_add_after(). This is necessary to break old code when it would use it the wrong way. Make klist follow this naming scheme for consistency. Signed-off-by: Ken Helias <kenhelias@firemail.de> Cc: "Paul E.

2011-02-14klist: Fix object alignment on 64-bit.David Miller1-1/+1
Commit c0e69a5bbc6f ("klist.c: bit 0 in pointer can't be used as flag") intended to make sure that all klist objects were at least pointer size aligned, but used the constant "4" which only works on 32-bit. Use "sizeof(void *)" which is correct in all cases. Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-01-21klist.c: bit 0 in pointer can't be used as flagJesper Nilsson1-1/+1
The commit a1ed5b0cffe4b16a93a6a3390e8cee0fbef94f86 (klist: don't iterate over deleted entries) introduces use of the low bit in a pointer to indicate if the knode is dead or not, assuming that this bit is always free. This is not true for all architectures, CRIS for example may align data on byte borders. The result is a bunch of warnings on bootup, devices not being added correctly etc, reported by Hinko Kocevar <hinko.kocevar@cetrtapot.si>: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at lib/klist.c:62 () Modules linked in: Stack from c1fe1cf0: c01cc7f4 c1fe1d11 c000eb4e c000e4de 00000000 00000000 c1f4f78f c1f50c2d c01d008c c1fdd1a0 c1fdd1a0 c1fe1d38 c0192954 c1fe0000 00000000 c1fe1dc0 00000002 7fffffff c1fe1da8 c0192d50 c1fe1dc0 00000002 7fffffff c1ff9fcc Call Trace: [<c000eb4e>] [<c000e4de>] [<c0192954>] [<c0192d50>] [<c001d49e>] [<c000b688>] [<c0192a3c>] [<c000b63e>] [<c000b63e>] [<c001a542>] [<c00b55b0>] [<c00411c0>] [<c00b559c>] [<c01918e6>] [<c0191988>] [<c01919d0>] [<c00cd9c8>] [<c00cdd6a>] [<c0034178>] [<c000409a>] [<c0015576>] [<c0029130>] [<c0029078>] [<c0029170>] [<c0012336>] [<c00b4076>] [<c00b4770>] [<c006d6e4>] [<c006d974>] [<c006dca0>] [<c0028d6c>] [<c0028e12>] [<c0006424>] <4>---[ end trace 4eaa2a86a8e2da22 ]--- ------------[ cut here ]------------ Repeat ad nauseam.

2009-01-06driver core: Remove completion from struct klist_nodeMatthew Wilcox1-2/+0
Removing the completion from klist_node reduces its size from 64 bytes to 28 on x86-64. To maintain the semantics of klist_remove(), we add a single list of klist nodes which are pending deletion and scan them.

2008-10-09klist: don't iterate over deleted entriesTejun Heo1-2/+1
A klist entry is kept on the list till all its current iterations are finished; however, a new iteration after deletion also iterates over deleted entries as long as their reference count stays above zero. This causes problems for cases where there are users which iterate over the list while synchronized against list manipulations and natuarally expect already deleted entries to not show up during iteration. This patch implements dead flag which gets set on deletion so that iteration can skip already deleted entries. The dead flag piggy backs on the lowest bit of knode->n_klist and only visible to klist implementation proper. While at it, drop klist_iter->i_head as it's redundant and doesn't offer anything in semantics or performance wise as klist_iter->i_klist is dereferenced on every iteration anyway.

2008-05-01klist: implement klist_add_{after|before}()Tejun Heo1-0/+2
Add klist_add_after() and klist_add_before() which puts a new node after and before an existing node, respectively. This is useful for callers which need to keep klist ordered. Note that synchronizing between simultaneous additions for ordering is the caller's responsibility. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2005-09-08[PATCH] fix klist semantics for lists which have elements removed on traversalJames Bottomley1-3/+5
The problem is that klists claim to provide semantics for safe traversal of lists which are being modified. The failure case is when traversal of a list causes element removal (a fairly common case). The issue is that although the list node is refcounted, if it is embedded in an object (which is universally the case), then the object will be freed regardless of the klist refcount leading to slab corruption because the klist iterator refers to the prior element to get the next. The solution is to make the klist take and release references to the embedding object meaning that the embedding object won't be released until the list relinquishes the reference to it.

2005-09-06[PATCH] klist: fix klist to have the same klist_add semantics as list_headJames Bottomley1-2/+6
at the moment, the list_head semantics are list_add(node, head) whereas current klist semantics are klist_add(head, node) This is bound to cause confusion, and since klist is the newcomer, it should follow the list_head semantics.

2005-06-21[PATCH] Add initial implementation of klist helpers.mochel@digitalimplant.org1-0/+53
This klist interface provides a couple of structures that wrap around struct list_head to provide explicit list "head" (struct klist) and list "node" (struct klist_node) objects. For struct klist, a spinlock is included that protects access to the actual list itself. struct klist_node provides a pointer to the klist that owns it and a kref reference count that indicates the number of current users of that node in the list. The entire point is to provide an interface for iterating over a list that is safe and allows for modification of the list during the iteration (e.g. insertion and removal), including modification of the current node on the list. It works using a 3rd object type - struct klist_iter - that is declared and initialized before an iteration. klist_next() is used to acquire the next element in the list. It returns NULL if there are no more items.

It then drops the lock and returns. There are primitives for adding and removing nodes to/from a klist. When deleting, klist_del() will simply decrement the reference count. Only when the count goes to 0 is the node removed from the list. klist_remove() will try to delete the node from the list and block until it is actually removed. This is useful for objects (like devices) that have been removed from the system and must be freed (but must wait until all accessors have finished).
