hi friends ,

i have a simple doubt when i was looking on linux/list.h

I have seen that INIT_LIST_HEAD and LIST_HEAD_INIT are performing the same functionality,the major difference is the argument passed.

yes but that is minor difference. Major is that one is a macro and other is a function.

When we have to use INIT_LIST_HEAD and LIST_HEAD_INIT??

When do you use macro and when do you use function?
