#define container_of(ptr, type, member) ({                              \
        void *__mptr = (void *)(ptr);                                   \
        BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG(!__same_type(*(ptr), ((type *)0)->member) &&   \
                         !__same_type(*(ptr), void),                    \
                         "pointer type mismatch in container_of()");    \
        ((type *)(__mptr - offsetof(type, member))); })

That's one of those things that make Linux so unpleasant to work with.
Frankly, I don't think we want that for FreeBSD.
