list_for_each_entry() question

["Bahadir Balban" <bahadir.balban@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I see that when you use a macro like:

list_for_each_entry(current, &current->list, list) {
    do_current(current);
}

It goes through all elements but the initial value of current, which
causes me to write code like:


do_current(current);
list_for_each_entry(current, &current->list, list) {
   do_current(current);
}

if do_current() is a long list of things, the duplicated code looks
ugly. I could keep a dummy list_head at the beginning to avoid this,
but I don't do that because any element could actually be "beginning".

So how do you get to use list_for_each_entry?

Thanks,
Bahadir
