[Devel] [PATCH] Introduce a handy list_first_entry macro

Tue Apr 17 04:18:56 PDT 2007
There are many places in the kernel where the construction like
foo = list_entry(head->next, struct foo_struct, list);
are used.
The code might look more descriptive and neat if using the macro
list_first_entry(head, type, member) \
list_entry((head)->next, type, member)
Here is the macro itself and the examples of its usage in the
generic code. If it will turn out to be useful, I can prepare
the set of patches to inject in into arch-specific code, drivers,
networking, etc.
