modeventtype_t定义如下：

typedef enum modeventtype {
    MOD_LOAD,
    MOD_UNLOAD,
    MOD_SHUTDOWN,
    MOD_QUIESCE
} modeventtype_t;
typedef int (*modeventhand_t)(module_t, int /* modeventtype_t */, void *);

MOD_LOAD，MOD_UNLOAD和MOD_SHUTDOWN都好理解。分别是在加载，卸载模块，还有关机时传入模块处理函数的值。而关于MOD_QUIESCE可以参考FreeBSD Device Drivers：

When one issues the kldunload(8) command, MOD_QUIESCE is run before MOD_UNLOAD . If MOD_QUIESCE returns an error, MOD_UNLOAD does not get executed. In other words, MOD_QUIESCE verifies that it is safe to unload your module.

NOTE The kldunload -f command ignores every error returned by MOD_QUIESCE . So you can always unload a module, but it may not be the best idea.

另外，关于MOD_QUIESCE和MOD_SHUTDOWN区别，也可参考FreeBSD Kernel Developer’s Manual：

The difference between MOD_QUIESCE and MOD_UNLOAD is that the module should fail MOD_QUIESCE if it is currently in use, whereas MOD_UNLOAD should only fail if it is impossible to unload the module, for instance because there are memory references to the module which cannot be revoked.

FreeBSD kernel提供了对双向链表的支持（定义在sys/sys/queue.h中）：

/*
 * List declarations.
 */
#define LIST_HEAD(name, type)                       \
struct name {                               \
    struct type *lh_first;  /* first element */         \
}

#define LIST_CLASS_HEAD(name, type)                 \
struct name {                               \
    class type *lh_first;   /* first element */         \
}

#define LIST_HEAD_INITIALIZER(head)                 \
    { NULL }

#define LIST_ENTRY(type)                        \
struct {                                \
    struct type *le_next;   /* next element */          \
    struct type **le_prev;  /* address of previous next element */  \
}

#define LIST_CLASS_ENTRY(type)                      \
struct {                                \
    class type *le_next;    /* next element */          \
    class type **le_prev;   /* address of previous next element */  \
}

#define LIST_EMPTY(head)    ((head)->lh_first == NULL)

#define LIST_FIRST(head)    ((head)->lh_first)

#define LIST_FOREACH(var, head, field)                  \
    for ((var) = LIST_FIRST((head));                \
        (var);                          \
        (var) = LIST_NEXT((var), field))

#define LIST_NEXT(elm, field)   ((elm)->field.le_next)

#define LIST_INSERT_HEAD(head, elm, field) do {             \
    QMD_LIST_CHECK_HEAD((head), field);             \
    if ((LIST_NEXT((elm), field) = LIST_FIRST((head))) != NULL) \
        LIST_FIRST((head))->field.le_prev = &LIST_NEXT((elm), field);\
    LIST_FIRST((head)) = (elm);                 \
    (elm)->field.le_prev = &LIST_FIRST((head));         \
} while (0)

......

以FreeBSD Device Drivers代码为例：

（1）race_softc结构体定义：

struct race_softc {
    LIST_ENTRY(race_softc) list;
    int unit;
};

展开以后变成如下代码：

struct race_softc {
    struct { \
        struct race_softc *le_next; /* next element */          \
        struct race_softc **le_prev;    /* address of previous next element */  \
    } list;
    int unit;
};

（2）双向链表头定义：

static LIST_HEAD(, race_softc) race_list = LIST_HEAD_INITIALIZER(&race_list);

展开以后变成如下代码：

struct {struct race_softc *lh_first;} race_list = {NULL}；

（3）插入一个元素：

sc = (struct race_softc *)malloc(sizeof(struct race_softc), M_RACE, M_WAITOK | M_ZERO);
sc->unit = unit;    
LIST_INSERT_HEAD(&race_list, sc, list);

展开以后变成如下代码：

sc = (struct race_softc *)malloc(sizeof(struct race_softc), M_RACE, M_WAITOK | M_ZERO);
sc->unit = unit;
do {                \
    QMD_LIST_CHECK_HEAD((race_list), list);             \
    if ((LIST_NEXT((sc), list) = LIST_FIRST((race_list))) != NULL)  \
        LIST_FIRST((race_list))->list.le_prev = &LIST_NEXT((sc), list);\
    LIST_FIRST((race_list)) = (sc);                 \
    (sc)->list.le_prev = &LIST_FIRST((race_list));          \
} while (0)

展开以后变成如下代码：

do { 
    if (((((sc))->list.le_next) = (((&race_list))->lh_first)) != ((void *)0)) (((&race_list))->lh_first)->list.le_prev = &(((sc))->list.le_next); 
    (((&race_list))->lh_first) = (sc); 
    (sc)->list.le_prev = &(((&race_list))->lh_first); 
} while (0);

即把元素插在链表头部。因为sc位于链表头部，所以其list.le_prev指向它自己。
