list_for_each_from(9)

✨ NAME ✨

Okay so list_for_each_from is literally the iconic “iterate over a list from one of its nodes” move — you’re walking a list, but you get to start at a specific node instead of the very top. Bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for list_for_each_from(9), and it’s gonna make sense, fr fr. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

list_for_each_from (pos , head );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pos — the struct list_head you’re using as the loop cursor, and it’s the spot where you start. That’s the whole “from” vibe. ✨
• head — the head for your list. Periodt. 💅
