By now you probably studied more list access patterns than I did, but I wrote that deliberately using list_add(..., pos->prev) rather than list_add_tail(), because even though the code is the same, I tend to think of the "head" argument of list_add_tail() as being the actual head of the list, and therefore the head->prev being the tail of the list (hence the name), something which doesn't hold true here where we're inserting in the middle of the list. Anyway it's just a name and that's what felt natural to me at the time, I won't oppose the change, but do make it a separate change and not clump it together with the unrelated list_for_each_entry() -> list_for_each() change.
