hlist_is_singular_node(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for hlist_is_singular_node(9) — it's short, it's sweet, and it's literally about checking if one node is the whole entire list. 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

hlist_is_singular_node — is node the only element of the specified hlist? 👀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool hlist_is_singular_node (struct hlist_node *n , struct hlist_head *h
);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • n — node to check for singularity. That's the main character here. 👑
  • h — header for potentially singular list. The maybe-solo-list's header, iykyk. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the vibe check is: check whether the node is the only node of the head — and it does this without accessing head, thus avoiding unnecessary cache misses. No cap, that's the whole flex. 🔥

💅 SEE ALSO 💅

That's the whole page, bestie: source/version ./include/linux, dated October 2026, and it's the hlist_is_singular_node(9) manual page. Mwah 💋🎀
