Subject[PATCH] list_for_each_entry
Date
Using two variables all the time is pissing me off:

struct list_head *i;
list_for_each(i, &head) {
struct foo *f = list_entry(i, struct foo, list);
...
}

Much nicer is:
struct foo *f;
list_for_each_entry(f, &head, list) {
...
}

Asm code produced is identical.

Cheers,
Rusty.

Name: list_for_each_entry patch
Author: Rusty Russell
Status: Trivial

D: This adds list_for_each_entry, which is the equivalent of
D: list_for_each and list_entry, except only one variable is needed.
