Subject[PATCH][2.5] Single linked lists for Linux
+
+/**
+ * slist_del - remove an entry from list
+ * @head: head to remove it from
+ * @entry: entry to be removed
+ */
+#define slist_del(_head, _entry) \
+do { \
+ (_head)->next = (_entry)->next; \
+ (_entry)->next = NULL; \
+}
+

This only works if head->next == entry otherwise you lose half your
list. Also, none of this is SMP-safe.

I think you need something like this (but with locking!)

/*
* remove entry from list starting at head
* Return 0 if successful, non-zero otherwise.
*/
static inline int slist_del(struct slist *head, struct slist *entry)
{
struct slist **p;
for (p = &head->next; *p; p = &(*p)->next)
if (*p == entry) {
*p = entry->next;
entry->next = NULL;
return 0;
}
return -1;
}
