From 7e6eaa90413f75f200ccb3d592537373b19016dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Somya Anand Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2015 01:03:09 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] Staging: gdm72xx: Iterate list using list_for_each_entry Code using doubly linked list is iterated generally using list_empty and list_entry functions, but it can be better written using list_for_each_entry macro. This patch replaces the while loop containing list_empty and list_entry with list_for_each_entry and list_for_each_entry_safe. list_for_each_entry is a macro which is used to iterate over a list of given type. So while loop used to iterate over a list can be replaced with list_for_each_entry macro. However, if list_del is used in the loop, then list_for_each_entry_safe is a better choice. This transformation is done by using the following coccinelle script. @ rule1 @ expression E1; identifier I1, I2; type T; iterator name list_for_each_entry; @@ - while (list_empty(&E1) == 0) + list_for_each_entry (I1, &E1, I2) { ...when != T *I1; - I1 = list_entry(E1.next, T, I2); ...when != list_del(...); when != list_del_init(...); } @ rule2 @ expression E1; identifier I1, I2; type T; iterator name list_for_each_entry_safe; @@ T *I1; + T *tmp; ... - while (list_empty(&E1) == 0) + list_for_each_entry_safe (I1, tmp, &E1, I2) { ...when != T *I1; - I1 = list_entry(E1.next, T, I2); ... } Signed-off-by: Somya Anand Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- drivers/staging/gdm72xx/gdm_wimax.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/gdm72xx/gdm_wimax.c b/drivers/staging/gdm72xx/gdm_wimax.c index 9cab54bfa6f4..32fe93bcb0e6 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/gdm72xx/gdm_wimax.c +++ b/drivers/staging/gdm72xx/gdm_wimax.c @@ -129,11 +129,11 @@ static void __gdm_wimax_event_send(struct work_struct *work) int idx; unsigned long flags; struct evt_entry *e; + struct evt_entry *tmp; spin_lock_irqsave(&wm_event.evt_lock, flags); - while (!list_empty(&wm_event.evtq)) { - e = list_entry(wm_event.evtq.next, struct evt_entry, list); + list_for_each_entry_safe(e, tmp, &wm_event.evtq, list) { spin_unlock_irqrestore(&wm_event.evt_lock, flags); if (sscanf(e->dev->name, "wm%d", &idx) == 1) -- 2.30.2
