- The problem was introduced by Simpler and faster lock-free linked list #1565. When doing concurrent add+removeFirst the following can happen:
- "add" completes, but has not correct prev pointer in next node yet
- "removeFirst" removes freshly added element
- "add" performs "finishAdd" that adjust prev pointer of the next node and thus removed element is pointed from the list again
- A separate LockFreeLinkedListAddRemoveStressTest is added that reproduces this problem.
- The old LockFreeLinkedListAtomicLFStressTest is refactored a bit.
