This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled list: introduce list_next_entry() and list_prev_entry() to the 3.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: list-introduce-list_next_entry-and-list_prev_entry.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Wed May 28 20:43:09 PDT 2014 From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2013 15:10:01 -0800 Subject: list: introduce list_next_entry() and list_prev_entry() From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 008208c6b26f21c2648c250a09c55e737c02c5f8 ] Add two trivial helpers list_next_entry() and list_prev_entry(), they can have a lot of users including list.h itself. In fact the 1st one is already defined in events/core.c and bnx2x_sp.c, so the patch simply moves the definition to list.h.
