ml->node and sl->node are currently initialized by means of INIT_LIST_HEAD(). That initialiation is followed by a list_add() call. Looking at what both these functions do we will have: ml->node.next = &ml->node; ml->node.prev = &ml->node; oi->master->master_ports.next.prev = &ml->node; ml->node.next = &oi->master->master_ports.next; ml->node.prev = &oi->master->master_ports; oi->master->master_ports.next = &ml->node; from this, it's clear that both INIT_LIST_HEAD() calls are unnecessary and can be safely removed.
