From: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit e130816164e244b692921de49771eeb28205152d upstream. Add a macro to test if entry is pointing to the head of the list which is useful in cases like: list_for_each_entry(pos, &head, member) { if (cond) break; } if (list_entry_is_head(pos, &head, member)) return -ERRNO; that allows to avoid additional variable to be added to track if loop has not been stopped in the middle. While here, convert list_for_each_entry*() family of macros to use a new one.
