Ok I will change it. :-)

Well, what you said makes sense, I think the previous judgment of llist_empty
is useless and can be deleted. This function should be changed to:
```
static struct smc_buf_desc *smc_buf_get_slot_free(struct llist_head *buf_llist)
{
	struct smc_buf_desc *buf_free;
	struct llist_node *llnode;

	/* lock-less link list don't need an lock */
	llnode = llist_del_first(buf_llist);
        if (llnode == NULL)
            return NULL;
	buf_free = llist_entry(llnode, struct smc_buf_desc, llist);
	WRITE_ONCE(buf_free->used, 1);
	return buf_free;
}
```

If there is only one node left in the linked list, multiple CPUs will
compete based on CAS instructions in llist_del_first. In the end, only
one consumer will get the node, and other consumers will get the null pointer.

Thank you!
