A macro for this would look something like: #define netdev_for_each_mc_addr(dev, addr) \ for (addr = (dev)->mc_list ? (dev)->mc_list->dmi_addr : NULL; \ addr; \ addr = (container_of(addr, struct dev_addr_list, dmi_addr)->next ? \ container_of(addr, struct dev_addr_list, dmi_addr)->next->dmi_addr : \ NULL)) Once you change the list type this can presumably be made less ugly.

Going to change this and then repost.

Looking at this, I'm not sure how to deal with this macro once we need to convert it to work with list_head. I see two options: 1) traverse through the list by hand in this macro (ugly) 2) introduce something like "list_for_each_struct_entry" which takes pointer of the structure member as a cursor. Then netdev_for_each_mc_addr would be just wrap-up of this. What do you think?

This helpers should be used by network drivers to access to netdev multicast lists. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> --- include/linux/netdevice.h | 22 ++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
