Yeah, that's a possibility. I personally don't like passing the void *
around because it's easier to make mistakes that way. I also find it
unintuitive because it doesn't immediately show you what the functions
expect.
My understanding is that the container_of() should get optimized away
most of the time, so there aren't any obvious downsides that I can see.
But I don't feel very strongly, so if you have a strong preference for
void pointers, I can do that.
