Hi, Yan Wang. I have two suggestions. One is to adopt the
recommendations in Documentation/CodingStyle, so that it is easier for
folks in this forum to help you.
The second suggestion is to adopt Linux kernel idioms when possible.
If you search the kernel for instances where mnt_list is used, you
will find stuff like this, in kernel/audit_tree.c:
list_for_each_entry(mnt, &list, mnt_list) {
if (mnt->mnt_root->d_inode == inode) {
node->index &= ~(1U<<31);
break;
}
}
... and this, in fs/namespace.c:
struct vfsmount *mnt = list_entry(v, struct vfsmount, mnt_list);
Using the list macros will probably help you avoid bugs, but it will
certainly help you interact with the Linux kernel community
more efficiently.
