Subject: Re: [RFC patch 1/2] Rename the "llist" (lockless list) to "llstack" (lockless stack)

Message-ID: <20110903224155.GG7761@one.firstfloor.org> (raw)

I don't see why a rename is necessary. People implement stacks and queues
and all other kinds of data structures using the standard list.h.
No reason why this shouldn't work with llist.h either.
I would assume everyone hacking on the Linux kernel will understand
that a list can be used as a building block for all of these.
