Re: [PATCH 1/2] IB/iSER: fix list iteration bug

[Arne Redlich <arne.redlich@xiranet.com>]

The iteration through the list of "iser_device"s during device
lookup/creation is broken - it might result in an infinite loop if more
than 1 HCA is used with iSER. Use list_for_each_entry() instead of the
custom, flawed list iteration code.
