In order to prevent flow counters stats work function from traversing whole flow counters tree while searching for deleted flow counters, new list to store deleted flow counters is added to struct mlx5_fc_stats. Lockless NULL-terminated single linked list data type is used due to following reasons: - This use case only needs to add single element to list and remove/iterate whole list. Lockless list doesn't require any additional synchronization for these operations. - First cache line of flow counter data structure only has space to store single additional pointer, which precludes usage of double linked list. Remove flow counter 'deleted' flag that is no longer needed.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
