Why use macro? > +#define HASH_ADD(name, obj, key) \ > + hlist_add_head(obj, &name[ \ > + hash_long((unsigned long)key, HASH_BITS(name))]); Ditto. > +#define HASH_GET(name, key, type, member, cmp_fn) \ > +({ \ > + struct hlist_node *__node; \ > + typeof(key) __key = key; \ > + type *__obj = NULL; \ > + hlist_for_each_entry(__obj, __node, &name[ \ > + hash_long((unsigned long) __key, \ > + HASH_BITS(name))], member) \ > + if (cmp_fn(__obj, __key)) \ > + break; \ > + __obj; \ > +}) Wouldn't it be simpler to have something like the following hash_for_each_possible_match(pos, hash, key) and let the caller handle the actual comparison? Callbacks often are painful to use and I don't think the above dancing buys much. > +#define HASH_DEL(obj, member) > \ > + hlist_del(&obj->member) @obj is struct hlist_node in HASH_ADD and the containing type here? Most in-kernel generic data containers implement just the container itself and let the caller handle the conversions between container node and the containing object. I think it would better not to deviate from that. > +#define HASH_FOR_EACH(bkt, node, name, obj, member) \ > + for (bkt = 0; bkt < HASH_SIZE(name); bkt++) \ > + hlist_for_each_entry(obj, node, &name[i], member) Why in caps? Most for_each macros are in lower case.
