struct file lock contains an 'fl_next' pointer which is used to point to the lock that this request is blocked waiting for. So rename it to fl_blocker. The fl_blocked list_head in an active lock is the head of a list of blocked requests. In a request it is a node in that list. These are two distinct uses, so replace with two list_heads with different names. fl_blocked_requests is the head of a list of blocked requests fl_blocked_member is a node in a member of that list. The two different list_heads are never used at the same time, but that will change in a future patch. Note that a tracepoint is changed to report fl_blocker instead of fl_next.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
