Subject: Re: [RFC patch 1/2] Rename the "llist" (lockless list) to "llstack" (lockless stack)
Date: Mon, 05 Sep 2011 10:00:53 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E642D55.7010500@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110903175543.363519825@efficios.com>
IMHO, I prefer to keep "llist" as the name of the best general lock-less
list we can implemented. Maybe in the future we can replace the
implementation totally, or add/change its API. I don't like the name of
"llstack" because we don't want to implement or use a lock-less stack,
we just can only implement stack like operations so far, maybe in the
future we can work out some solution for other operations.
Best Regards,
Huang Ying
