There are a lot of occurrences of structures that have a field of type
pointer to the structure, often with the suggestive name "next". But at
least some of them have only a next field and no prev field. Are you
interested in them anyway?
An example is:
arch/um/include/aio.h
struct aio_context {
int reply_fd;
struct aio_context *next;
};
