If someone could explain _why_ to use one over the other, that would be a good thing to add. If I wanted abstraction for its own sake I'd be using C++ to implement a microkernel. I would also be certifiably insane. And this can't be done with container_of()? Again, I don't care much either way, I just want to know what the point is of choosing one over the other that makes changing what's there worth bothering with. You're changing the documentation to hide the fact that rb_entry() is basically another name for container_of(), and this is supposed to be an improvement?
