Subject: [PATCH net] net: core: Fix the loop in default_device_exit_net()
Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2025 13:20:14 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1752870014-28909-1-git-send-email-haiyangz@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)

From: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@microsoft.com>

The loop in default_device_exit_net() won't be able to properly detect the
head then stop, and will hit NULL pointer, when a driver, like hv_netvsc,
automatically moves the slave device together with the master device.

To fix this, add a helper function to return the first migratable netdev
correctly, no matter one or two devices were removed from this net's list
in the last iteration.
