From fc7fab70541f70d214448e3f41c9ea2e9854f0f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sasha Levin Date: Thu, 16 May 2019 21:30:49 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] net: core: another layer of lists, around PF_MEMALLOC skb handling [ Upstream commit 78ed8cc25986ac5c21762eeddc1e86e94d422e36 ] First example of a layer splitting the list (rather than merely taking individual packets off it). Involves new list.h function, list_cut_before(), like list_cut_position() but cuts on the other side of the given entry. Signed-off-by: Edward Cree Signed-off-by: David S. Miller [sl: cut out non list.h bits, we only want list_cut_before] Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin --- include/linux/list.h | 30 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 30 insertions(+) diff --git a/include/linux/list.h b/include/linux/list.h index 5809e9a2de5b..6f935018ea05 100644 --- a/include/linux/list.h +++ b/include/linux/list.h @@ -271,6 +271,36 @@ static inline void list_cut_position(struct list_head *list, __list_cut_position(list, head, entry); } +/** + * list_cut_before - cut a list into two, before given entry + * @list: a new list to add all removed entries + * @head: a list with entries + * @entry: an entry within head, could be the head itself + * + * This helper moves the initial part of @head, up to but + * excluding @entry, from @head to @list.
