Hi all, I revised my earlier list_del_head patch and took Jens' suggestions. There were two function additions: list_del_head() - removes the head of a list and returns it list_del_head_init() - removes the head of a list, reinitializes it and returns it I have also converted several obvious pieces of code in kernel/, net/ and mm/ to use these new functions. The patch for all of this is attached. Thanks :) Name: Add list_del_head[_init] functions for full queue API Status: Tested (smoke tests, mostly) Signed-off-by: Toby DiPasquale P.S. Again, please CC me on any replies as I'm not subscribed to LKML. Thanks again :) -- [ Tobias DiPasquale ] 0x636f6465736c696e67657240676d61696c2e636f6d
