+ * mpscq - lockless multi-producer, single-consumer FIFO queue
+ *
+ * Unlike llist, which is LIFO ordered and hence needs an O(n)
+ * llist_reverse_order() pass before entries can be processed in queue order,
+ * this queue hands out nodes in the order they were pushed.
+ *
+ * The consumer cursor is held by the caller rather than in the queue struct
+ * (see below), and with the stub reinsertion done as a single cmpxchg attempt
+ * instead of an unconditional push, keeping tail == stub a reliable empty test
+ * while a producer is in the middle of a push.
+ *
+ * Producers may run in any context (task, softirq, hardirq) and are wait-free:
+ * a push is one xchg() plus one store, with no retry loops. 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.
