π list_private_for_each_entry_continue β from the Kernel API Manual, bestie
okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally about list_private_for_each_entry_continue, which ngl is a whole mouthful but it's iconic, trust. it's all about not starting your loop over like a lost cause β you keep going from where you already are. periodt. β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ

likeβ¦ you're already mid-walk through your list, and this just says "keep going, bestie, don't restart" π«Ά
π SYNOPSIS π
list_private_for_each_entry_continue (pos , head , member );
that's the whole thing. three little arguments, chef's kiss π
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
posβ the type * to use as a loop cursor. this is your main character pointer, the one that moves through the list and holds your spot π«headβ the head for your list. the literal start-of-everything node, the group chat admin if you will πmemberβ the name of thelist_headwithin the struct. iykyk, it's the field inside your struct that does the actual linking π
β DESCRIPTION β
Continue to iterate over list of given type, continuing after the current position.
that's it, that's the vibe. you do NOT go back to the beginning, you do NOT collect two hundred dollars β you pick up right after wherever pos is sitting and keep scrolling. no cap, it's the "resume where you left off" of kernel list iteration π
