Define the ListLinks struct, which wraps the prev/next pointers that will be used to insert values into a List in a future patch. Also define the ListItem trait, which is implemented by structs that have a ListLinks field. The ListItem trait provides four different methods that are all essentially container_of or the reverse of container_of. Two of them are used before inserting/after removing an item from the list, and the two others are used when looking at a value without changing whether it is in a list. This distinction is introduced because it is needed for the patch that adds support for heterogeneous lists, which are implemented by adding a third pointer field with a fat pointer to the full struct. When inserting into the heterogeneous list, the pointer-to-self is updated to have the right vtable, and the container_of operation is implemented by just returning that pointer instead of using the real container_of operation.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
