The header contains a comment that details why the functions list_empty_rcu() and list_first_entry_rcu() don't exist. It explains that they don't exist because standard list_empty() can be used just as well, but one can not expect sane results from a subsequent, quote, "list_first_entry_rcu()". This function (obviously) does not exist. What the comment's author actually meant was the standard list-function list_first_entry(). Change the function name in that comment from list_first_entry_rcu() to list_first_entry(). Additionally, add the parenthesis to list_first_or_null_rcu to be congruent with that entire comment's style. Signed-off-by: Philipp Stanner <pstanner@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Hi! I hope this helps.
