This patch replaces list_for_each_continue_rcu() with
list_for_each_entry_continue_rcu() to save a few lines
of code and allow removing list_for_each_continue_rcu().

Hi, Neil

Could I get some comments on this patch?

Hi, Neil

Could I get some comments?

And please forgive and warn me if this patch has came to the wrong
place...I get the address from get_maintainer.

Sorry, August was a bad month.

Yes, patch looks good.  Shall I include it in my tree, do you want to submit
them altogether through some rcu tree?
Either way is fine by me.  If you want to submit it through some other tree,

If not, it'll probably appear in my -next soonish.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
