💅 list_for_eac...try_continue(9) — bestie's guide to list_for_each_entry_continue

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 🎀 (yes the title up top is truncated, that's just how the manpage header rolls — the vibe is intact, i promise). this one is a tiny macro with big "keep going" energy ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

list_for_each_entry_continue — keep iterating over a list of a given type, no cap 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

list_for_each_entry_continue (pos , head , member );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• pos — the type * you're using as your loop cursor. that's your main character pointer, the one that walks the list 👑
• head — the head of your list. the start-of-everything vibe 🌈
• member — the name of the list_head inside the struct. like, the little embedded link-up field that makes the whole thing work 🧚

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

continue iterating over a list of the given type — but starting after where you currently are. it's literally the "and then what happened" macro 🫶

so if you're already mid-list and you're like "okay bestie, keep going", this is the one. it picks up from your current position and carries on. periodt 💅
