[ Upstream commit 901aeda62efa21f2eae937bccb71b49ae531be06 ] In preparation to limit the scope of a list iterator to the list traversal loop, use a dedicated pointer to iterate through the list [1]. Since that variable should not be used past the loop iteration, a separate variable is used to 'remember the current location within the loop'. To either continue iterating from that position or skip the iteration (if the previous iteration was complete) list_prepare_entry() is used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
