There is a warning in the kerneldoc documentation of container_of() that constness of its ptr argument is lost. While this is a valid suggestion container_of_const() should be used instead, the vast majority of new code still uses container_of(): $ git diff v6.13 v6.14|grep container_of\(|wc -l 646 $ git diff v6.13 v6.14|grep container_of_const|wc -l 9 Make an explicit recommendation to use container_of_const().
