Re: [PATCH] Introduce a handy list_first_entry macro

Pavel Emelianov writes:
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)

Won't list_next_entry() be more descriptive name for that?
