✨ list_for_each_entry_reverse(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, page list_for_each_entry_reverse(9). this one's a lil macro with big main character energy 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

list_for_each_entry_reverse — iterate backwards over list of given type.

like, you're going through your list but in reverse, bestie. back it up, back it up 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

list_for_each_entry_reverse (pos , head , member );

that's the whole vibe. three things in, and the macro does the rest ✨

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • pos — the type * to use as a loop cursor. it's your lil main character pointer that walks the loop for you 🫶
  • head — the head for your list. the starting point, the home base, the head of the whole operation 👑
  • member — the name of the list_head within the struct. like, that's the field inside your struct that's doing the linking 🧚
