I don't know if I got it right. But if what you want is to create a
linked list for your data structures, you have to use the kernel
linked list API.

A good explanation about how is implemented and how to use it is in
the kernel newbies website.

http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ/LinkedLists

Also the Linux Device Drivers 3 book has an excelent section that
covers the linked list API

You can look at the complete API in the kernel.org website
