A CLOCK algorithm is used in this LRU abstraction. This avoids relinking list nodes, which would require a write lock protecting it. None of the LRU methods are threadsafe; locking must be done at a higher level. Code that uses this new LRU will be introduced in the next 2 commits. As such, this commit will cause "defined but not used" compiler warnings that will be resolved by the next 2 commits.

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.
