Possible to revert 490d6ab170c9 ? although with something list this inserted: struct hlist_node *_p = h; and then use _p instead of h (or the old macro's 'ptr') The code looks the same to me, although I could have mucked something up: https://godbolt.org/z/z76nsqGx3 although Andrew prefers inlines for type checking. -- #Randy https://people.kernel.org/tglx/notes-about-netiquette https://subspace.kernel.org/etiquette.html
