Looks right to me, from a cursory look at hlist_for_each_entry. That's exactly what I meant with this most often being trivial when the inner loop's iterator is a pointer that goes NULL at the end. -- Pedro Alves -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
