Relevant linked list operations

Hi,
I wonder the linked list operations, such as list_add_tail, list_add, list_del or list_replace, in kernel code are atomic operation.
I heard someone said they are atomic but can't track them down in the kernel.
Please clue me.
Thanks,

The list functions in the kernel are not atomic.
