Doubly linked lists which are iterated using list_empty and list_entry macros have been replaced with list_for_each_entry_safe macro. This makes the iteration simpler and more readable.
This patch replaces the while loop containing list_empty and list_entry with list_for_each_entry_safe. This was done with Coccinelle. @@ 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: simran singhal <singhalsimr...@gmail.com> --- drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/osc/osc_cache.c | 5 ++--- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/osc/osc_cache.c b/drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/osc/osc_cache.c index f8c5fc0..caa5fec 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/osc/osc_cache.c +++ b/drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/osc/osc_cache.c @@ -1996,6 +1996,7 @@ static unsigned int get_write_extents(struct osc_object *obj, { struct client_obd *cli = osc_cli(obj); struct osc_extent *ext; + struct osc_extent *tmp; struct osc_extent *temp; struct extent_rpc_data data = { .erd_rpc_list = rpclist, @@ -2014,9 +2015,7 @@ static unsigned int get_write_extents(struct osc_object *obj, if (data.erd_page_count == data.erd_max_pages) return data.erd_page_count; - while (!list_empty(&obj->oo_urgent_exts)) { - ext = list_entry(obj->oo_urgent_exts.next, - struct osc_extent, oe_link); + list_for_each_entry_safe(ext, tmp, &obj->oo_urgent_exts, oe_link) { if (!try_to_add_extent_for_io(cli, ext, &data)) return data.erd_page_count; -- 2.7.4
