💅 list_private_first_entry(9) — Kernel API Manual 💅

ok so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's literally all about list_private_first_entry — the girl whose whole job is grabbing the first element off a list. tiny job, iconic execution. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

list_private_first_entry — get the first element from a list 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

list_private_first_entry (ptr , type , member );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ptr — the list head to take the element from. this is the starting point bestie, we're grabbing from here 💅
  • type — the type of the struct this is embedded in. yes, the actual struct, not vibes. 🔥
  • member — the identifier passed to ACCESS_PRIVATE. live laugh love, that's the field name. ✨

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

the kernel file ./include/linux/list_private.h, plus the whole Private List Primitives(9) friend group — they all pull up together, no cap:

like, the whole group chat showed up. we love to see it 💖

lowkey remember: ptr is the list head, type is the struct, member is the ACCESS_PRIVATE identifier. three little params, zero drama. ⭐

🌈 that's the whole page bestie, no notes!! 🦋 this one's from ./include/linux, dated October 2026, and it ate fr fr 💅✨🍓
