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

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
