From b5e618181a927210f8be1d3d2249d31904ba358d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Emelianov Date: Tue, 8 May 2007 00:30:19 -0700 Subject: Introduce a handy list_first_entry macro 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. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelianov Signed-off-by: Kirill Korotaev Cc: Randy Dunlap Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Zach Brown Cc: Davide Libenzi Cc: John McCutchan Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: john stultz Cc: Ram Pai Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- fs/dquot.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'fs/dquot.c') diff --git a/fs/dquot.c b/fs/dquot.c index dcc5a582e1f..3a995841de9 100644 --- a/fs/dquot.c +++ b/fs/dquot.c @@ -474,7 +474,7 @@ int vfs_quota_sync(struct super_block *sb, int type) spin_lock(&dq_list_lock); dirty = &dqopt->info[cnt].dqi_dirty_list; while (!list_empty(dirty)) { - dquot = list_entry(dirty->next, struct dquot, dq_dirty); + dquot = list_first_entry(dirty, struct dquot, dq_dirty); /* Dirty and inactive can be only bad dquot... */ if (!test_bit(DQ_ACTIVE_B, &dquot->dq_flags)) { clear_dquot_dirty(dquot); -- cgit v1.2.3
