There exists an iteration over a plist in plist_check_list(), and memory dependency exists between variables "prev", "next" and "prev->next". As plist is used in the scheduling subsystem, we should guarantee the memory ordering between multiple processors. Using macro "WRITE_ONCE()" can help us to ensure the memory ordering as it was stated in "Documentation/memory-barriers.txt".

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 reStructuredText 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.
