Hey a BUG_ON would have been more your style! ;)

I did not know of this one! But it confuses me (emphasis mine):

"""
list_for_each_entry_continue_reverse - iterate backwards _from the given 
point_
"""

or

"""
  * Start to iterate over list of given type backwards, continuing _after
  * the current position_.
"""

Code is "for (pos = list_prev_entry(pos, member); " though, so I think 
you'll miss rebinding the one it failed on.
