The usual convention in list.h is that list_foo uses the list head and
list_foo_entry uses the container type. So I think this should be
renamed to list_pop_entry() at least. Do we also want:
static inline struct list_head *list_pop(struct list_head *head)
{
struct list_head *first = READ_ONCE(head->next);
if (first == head)
return NULL;
__list_del(head, first->next);
return first;
}
we also seem to prefer using inline functions over #defines in this
header file.
