From 5908cdc85eb30f8d07f2cb11d4a62334d7229048 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Sat, 9 Jan 2010 20:53:14 +0100 Subject: 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.
