1、前言
最近写代码需用到链表结构，正好公共库有关于链表的。第一眼看时，觉得有点新鲜，和我之前见到的链表结构不一样，只有前驱和后继指针，而没有数据域。后来看代码注释发现该代码来自linux内核，在linux源代码下include/Lish.h下。这个链表具备通用性，使用非常方便。只需要在结构定义一个链表结构就可以使用。
2、链表介绍
链表是非常基本的数据结构，根据链个数分为单链表、双链表，根据是否循环分为单向链表和循环链表。通常定义定义链表结构如下：
typedef struct node
{
ElemType data; //数据域
struct node *next; //指针域
}node, *list;
链表中包含数据域和指针域。链表通常包含一个头结点，不存放数据，方便链表操作。单向循环链表结构如下图所示：
双向循环链表结构如下图所示：
这样带数据域的链表降低了链表的通用性，不容易扩展。linux内核定义的链表结构不带数据域，只需要两个指针完成链表的操作。将链表节点加入数据结构，具备非常高的扩展性，通用性。链表结构定义如下所示：
struct list_head {
struct list_head *next, *prev;
};
链表结构如下所示：
需要用链表结构时，只需要在结构体中定义一个链表类型的数据即可。例如定义一个app_info链表，
1 typedef struct application_info
2 {
3 uint32_t app_id;
4 uint32_t up_flow;
5 uint32_t down_flow;
6 struct list_head app_info_head; //链表节点
7 }app_info;
定义一个app_info链表，app_info app_info_list;通过app_info_head进行链表操作。根据C语言指针操作，通过container_of和offsetof，可以根据app_info_head的地址找出app_info的起始地址，即一个完整ap_info结构的起始地址。可以参考：http://www.cnblogs.com/Anker/p/3472271.html。
3、linux内核链表实现
内核实现的是双向循环链表，提供了链表操作的基本功能。
（1）初始化链表头结点
#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;
}
LIST_HEAD宏创建一个链表头结点，并用LIST_HEAD_INIT宏对头结点进行赋值，使得头结点的前驱和后继指向自己。
INIT_LIST_HEAD函数对链表进行初始化，使得前驱和后继指针指针指向头结点。
（2）插入节点
1 static inline void __list_add(struct list_head *new,
2 struct list_head *prev,
3 struct list_head *next)
4 {
5 next->prev = new;
6 new->next = next;
7 new->prev = prev;
8 prev->next = new;
9 }
10
11 static inline void list_add(struct list_head *new, struct list_head *head)
12 {
13 __list_add(new, head, head->next);
14 }
15
16 static inline void list_add_tail(struct list_head *new, struct list_head *head)
17 {
18 __list_add(new, head->prev, head);
19 }
插入节点分为从链表头部插入list_add和链表尾部插入list_add_tail，通过调用__list_add函数进行实现，head->next指向之一个节点，head->prev指向尾部节点。
（3）删除节点
1 static inline void __list_del(struct list_head * prev, struct list_head * next)
2 {
3 next->prev = prev;
4 prev->next = next;
5 }
6
7 static inline void list_del(struct list_head *entry)
8 {
9 __list_del(entry->prev, entry->next);
10 entry->next = LIST_POISON1;
11 entry->prev = LIST_POISON2;
12 }
从链表中删除一个节点，需要改变该节点前驱节点的后继结点和后继结点的前驱节点。最后设置该节点的前驱节点和后继结点指向LIST_POSITION1和LIST_POSITION2两个特殊值，这样设置是为了保证不在链表中的节点项不可访问，对LIST_POSITION1和LIST_POSITION2的访问都将引起页故障
/*
* These are non-NULL pointers that will result in page faults
* under normal circumstances, used to verify that nobody uses
* non-initialized list entries.
*/
#define LIST_POISON1 ((void *) 0x00100100 + POISON_POINTER_DELTA)
#define LIST_POISON2 ((void *) 0x00200200 + POISON_POINTER_DELTA)
（4）移动节点
1 /**
2 * list_move - delete from one list and add as another's head
3 * @list: the entry to move
4 * @head: the head that will precede our entry
5 */
6 static inline void list_move(struct list_head *list, struct list_head *head)
7 {
8 __list_del(list->prev, list->next);
9 list_add(list, head);
10 }
11
12 /**
13 * list_move_tail - delete from one list and add as another's tail
14 * @list: the entry to move
15 * @head: the head that will follow our entry
16 */
17 static inline void list_move_tail(struct list_head *list,
18 struct list_head *head)
19 {
20 __list_del(list->prev, list->next);
21 list_add_tail(list, head);
22 }
move将一个节点移动到头部或者尾部。
（5）判断链表
1 /**
2 * list_is_last - tests whether @list is the last entry in list @head
3 * @list: the entry to test
4 * @head: the head of the list
5 */
6 static inline int list_is_last(const struct list_head *list,
7 const struct list_head *head)
8 {
9 return list->next == head;
10 }
11
12 /**
13 * list_empty - tests whether a list is empty
14 * @head: the list to test.
15 */
16 static inline int list_empty(const struct list_head *head)
17 {
18 return head->next == head;
19 }
list_is_last函数判断节点是否为末尾节点，list_empty判断链表是否为空。
（6）遍历链表
1 /**
2 * list_entry - get the struct for this entry
3 * @ptr: the &struct list_head pointer.
4 * @type: the type of the struct this is embedded in.
5 * @member: the name of the list_struct within the struct.
6 */
7 #define list_entry(ptr, type, member) \
8 container_of(ptr, type, member)
9
10 /**
11 * list_first_entry - get the first element from a list
12 * @ptr: the list head to take the element from.
13 * @type: the type of the struct this is embedded in.
14 * @member: the name of the list_struct within the struct.
15 *
16 * Note, that list is expected to be not empty.
17 */
18 #define list_first_entry(ptr, type, member) \
19 list_entry((ptr)->next, type, member)
20
21 /**
22 * list_for_each - iterate over a list
23 * @pos: the &struct list_head to use as a loop cursor.
24 * @head: the head for your list.
25 */
26 #define list_for_each(pos, head) \
27 for (pos = (head)->next; prefetch(pos->next), pos != (head); \
28 pos = pos->next)
宏list_entity获取链表的结构，包括数据域。list_first_entry获取链表第一个节点，包括数据源。list_for_each宏对链表节点进行遍历。
4、测试例子
编写一个简单使用链表的程序，从而掌握链表的使用。
自定义个类似的list结构如下所示：mylist.h
1 # define POISON_POINTER_DELTA 0
2
3 #define LIST_POISON1 ((void *) 0x00100100 + POISON_POINTER_DELTA)
4 #define LIST_POISON2 ((void *) 0x00200200 + POISON_POINTER_DELTA)
5
6 //计算member在type中的位置
7 #define offsetof(type, member) (size_t)(&((type*)0)->member)
8 //根据member的地址获取type的起始地址
9 #define container_of(ptr, type, member) ({ \
10 const typeof(((type *)0)->member)*__mptr = (ptr); \
11 (type *)((char *)__mptr - offsetof(type, member)); })
12
13 //链表结构
14 struct list_head
15 {
16 struct list_head *prev;
17 struct list_head *next;
18 };
19
20 static inline void init_list_head(struct list_head *list)
21 {
22 list->prev = list;
23 list->next = list;
24 }
25
26 static inline void __list_add(struct list_head *new,
27 struct list_head *prev, struct list_head *next)
28 {
29 prev->next = new;
30 new->prev = prev;
31 new->next = next;
32 next->prev = new;
33 }
34
35 //从头部添加
36 static inline void list_add(struct list_head *new , struct list_head *head)
37 {
38 __list_add(new, head, head->next);
39 }
40 //从尾部添加
41 static inline void list_add_tail(struct list_head *new, struct list_head *head)
42 {
43 __list_add(new, head->prev, head);
44 }
45
46 static inline void __list_del(struct list_head *prev, struct list_head *next)
47 {
48 prev->next = next;
49 next->prev = prev;
50 }
51
52 static inline void list_del(struct list_head *entry)
53 {
54 __list_del(entry->prev, entry->next);
55 entry->next = LIST_POISON1;
56 entry->prev = LIST_POISON2;
57 }
58
59 static inline void list_move(struct list_head *list, struct list_head *head)
60 {
61 __list_del(list->prev, list->next);
62 list_add(list, head);
63 }
64
65 static inline void list_move_tail(struct list_head *list,
66 struct list_head *head)
67 {
68 __list_del(list->prev, list->next);
69 list_add_tail(list, head);
70 }
71 #define list_entry(ptr, type, member) \
72 container_of(ptr, type, member)
73
74 #define list_first_entry(ptr, type, member) \
75 list_entry((ptr)->next, type, member)
76
77 #define list_for_each(pos, head) \
78 for (pos = (head)->next; pos != (head); pos = pos->next)
mylist.c如下所示：
