This patch adds the following helper structure and routines into badblocks.h, - struct badblocks_context This structure is used in improved badblocks code for bad table iteration. - BB_END() The macro to calculate end LBA of a bad range record from bad table. - badblocks_full() and badblocks_empty() The inline routines to check whether bad table is full or empty. - set_changed() and clear_changed() The inline routines to set and clear 'changed' tag from struct badblocks. These new helper structure and routines can help to make the code more clear, they will be used in the improved badblocks code in following patches.

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.
