16 *
17 * Based on simple lists (include/linux/list.h).
18 *
19 * This is a priority-sorted list of nodes; each node has a
20 * priority from INT_MIN (highest) to INT_MAX (lowest).
21 *
22 * Addition is O(K), removal is O(1), change of priority of a node is
23 * O(K) and K is the number of RT priority levels used in the system.
24 * (1 <= K <= 99)
25 *
26 * This list is really a list of lists:
27 *
28 * - The tier 1 list is the prio_list, different priority nodes.
29 *
30 * - The tier 2 list is the node_list, serialized nodes.
31 *
32 * Simple ASCII art explanation:
33 *
34 * pl:prio_list (only for plist_node)
35 * nl:node_list
36 * HEAD| NODE(S)
37 * |
38 * ||------------------------------------|
39 * ||->|pl|<->|pl|<--------------->|pl|<-|
40 * | |10| |21| |21| |21| |40| (prio)
41 * | | | | | | | | | | |
42 * | | | | | | | | | | |
43 * |->|nl|<->|nl|<->|nl|<->|nl|<->|nl|<->|nl|<-|
44 * |-------------------------------------------|
45 *
46 * The nodes on the prio_list list are sorted by priority to simplify
47 * the insertion of new nodes. There are no nodes with duplicate
48 * priorites on the list.
49 *
50 * The nodes on the node_list are ordered by priority and can contain
51 * entries which have the same priority. Those entries are ordered
52 * FIFO
53 *
54 * Addition means: look for the prio_list node in the prio_list
55 * for the priority of the node and insert it before the node_list
56 * entry of the next prio_list node. If it is the first node of
57 * that priority, add it to the prio_list in the right position and
58 * insert it into the serialized node_list list
59 *
60 * Removal means remove it from the node_list and remove it from
61 * the prio_list if the node_list list_head is non empty. In case
62 * of removal from the prio_list it must be checked whether other
63 * entries of the same priority are on the list or not. If there
64 * is another entry of the same priority then this entry has to
65 * replace the removed entry on the prio_list. If the entry which
66 * is removed is the only entry of this priority then a simple
67 * remove from both list is sufficient.
68 *
69 * INT_MIN is the highest priority, 0 is the medium highest, INT_MAX
70 * is lowest priority.
71 *
72 * No locking is done, up to the caller.
