The patch titled Subject: list: introduce list_is_head() helper and re-use it in list.h has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was list-introduce-list_is_head-helper-and-re-use-it-in-listh.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: list: introduce list_is_head() helper and re-use it in list.h Introduce list_is_head() in the similar (*) way as it's done for list_entry_is_head(). Make use of it in the list.h. *) it's done as inliner and not a macro to be aligned with other list_is_*() APIs; while at it, make all three to have the same style.
