The tail of the list lives at the position before the head. This is mathematically noted as: ``` (head-1) mod size. ``` Unfortunately C, does not have a modulus operator, but a remainder operator (%). The reminder operation has a different result than the modulus if (head -1) is a negative number and size is not a power of two. Adding size to (head-1) allows the code to run with any value of size. This does not change the current behaviour of the driver, as the size is always a power of two, but avoid tedious debugging if we ever change its size.

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 reStructuredText 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.
