Subject: list: Introduce list_rotate_left()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5908cdc85eb30f8d07f2cb11d4a62334d7229048;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

list: Introduce list_rotate_left()

Bring a new list_rotate_left() helper that rotates a list to
the left. This is useful for codes that need to round roubin
elements which queue priority increases from tail to head.
