How does
#define hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) \
for (pos = (head)->first; \
pos && ({ pos->next ; 1;}) && \
({ tpos = hlist_entry(pos, typeof(*tpos), member); 1;}); \
pos = pos->next)
differ from
#define hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) \
for (pos = (head)->first; \
pos && ({ prefetch(pos->next); 1;}) && \
({ tpos = hlist_entry(pos, typeof(*tpos), member); 1;}); \
pos = pos->next)
More specifically :
What is the benefit of using prefetch(x) ?
