list_for_each_entry(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for list_for_each_entry — the move where you iterate over a list of a given type. 💅 It's giving “loop cursor has entered the chat,” and honestly? iconic. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

list_for_each_entry (pos , head , member );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pos — the type * to use as a loop cursor. Yes, with the star, bestie — that’s literally the type pointer situation. ⭐
• head — the head for your list. Like, the main-character starting point of the whole thing. 👑
• member — the name of the list_head within the struct. That’s the little field inside your struct doing the linking, iykyk. 🔗
