net: introduce skb_list_walk_safe for skb segment walking
As part of the continual effort to remove direct usage of skb->next and skb->prev, this patch adds a helper for iterating through the singly-linked variant of skb lists, which are used for lists of GSO packet. The name "skb_list_..." has been chosen to match the existing function, "kfree_skb_list, which also operates on these singly-linked lists, and the "..._walk_safe" part is the same idiom as elsewhere in the kernel. This patch removes the helper from wireguard and puts it into linux/skbuff.h, while making it a bit more robust for general usage. In particular, parenthesis are added around the macro argument usage, and it now accounts for trying to iterate through an already-null skb pointer, which will simply run the iteration zero times. This latter enhancement means it can be used to replace both do { ... } while and while (...) open-coded idioms. This should take care of these three possible usages, which match all current methods of iterations. skb_list_walk_safe(segs, skb, next) { ... } skb_list_walk_safe(skb, skb, next) { ... } skb_list_walk_safe(segs, skb, segs) { ... } Gcc appears to generate efficient code for each of these.
