When using linked list we have to open code the locking, search, and destroy operations with the loops even if data structure doesn't fall into the fast path. One of the main advantage of having XArray to store, search, and remove items is that it handles all the locking by itself, avoids the loops when using linked lists, provides clear API to replace the linked list's search and destroy loops. This patch replaces the ctrl->cel list with XArray and removes :- a. Extra code needed for the linked list for ctrl->cel item management such as nvme_find_cel(). b. Destroy loop in the nvme_free_ctrl(). c. Explicit insertion locking in the nvme_get_effects_log().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
