linux的code算是經過高手中的高手淬煉過的精華，應該是每一個programmer朝聖取經的對象才是，所以，近日想由簡單的一些header file著手，先挑了link-list(linux/list.h)開始看起。list.h開頭就說明了這個檔案是Simple doubly linked list implementation。
struct list_head {
struct list_head *next, *prev;
};
#define LIST_HEAD_INIT(name) { &(name), &(name) }
#define LIST_HEAD(name) \
struct list_head name = LIST_HEAD_INIT(name)
static inline void INIT_LIST_HEAD(struct list_head *list)
{
list->next = list;
list->prev = list;
}
struct list_head宣告兩個指向struct list_head的指標，這樣可以很general的對任何struct做link-list的動作，而list.h所提供的api也都是對struct list_head進行操作。
LIST_HEAD_INIT(name)是用於還沒有宣告的做init的動作，主要是將prev和next都指向自己。LIST_HEAD(name)其實和LIST_HEAD_INIT(name)差不多，也都是用來init link_head的。已經宣告過的則要使用INIT_LIST_HEAD(struct list_head *list)做init。
在list.h中有使用到一個重要的macro，container_of(ptr, type, member)，
/**
* container_of cast a member of a structure out to the containing structure
* @ptr: the pointer to the member.
* @type: the type of the container struct this is embedded in.
* @member: the name of the member within the struct.
*
*/
#define container_of(ptr, type, member) ({ \
const typeof( ((type *)0)->member ) *__mptr = (ptr); \
(type *)( (char *)__mptr - offsetof(type,member) );})
而offsetof在C99的offsetof macro中有提到。所以container_of()就可以看出先宣告__mptr，其型態為傳進來的member，其值為傳進來的ptr，接著再扣除member所在的offset，就可以找到原本的頭了。

static inline void __list_add(struct list_head *new,

static inline void list_add_rcu(struct list_head *new, struct list_head *head)

list_add_tail()可以想像把新的加到head的前面，就等於加到最後面了(因為是doubly linked list)。

{
__list_del(entry->prev, entry->next);
entry->next = LIST_POISON1;
entry->prev = LIST_POISON2;
}
看到後面的delete就簡單了，先把自己的前後node接起來，接著再把自己的指標指向特殊位置(我的認知應該是給kernel debug用的特別位置)，這樣就完成了delete的動作，所謂的delete並沒有真的是放記憶體唷。
