No, that would lead to a NULL dereference. The problem is the mis-use of iterator outside the loop on exit, and the iterator will be the HEAD's container_of pointer which pointers to a type-confused struct. Sidenote: The *mis-use* here refers to mistakely access to other members of the struct, instead of the list_head member which acutally is the valid HEAD. IOW, you would dereference a (NULL + offset_of_member) address here. Please remind me if i missed something, thanks. > OTOH there may be alternative definitions that can be used to get > the compiler (or other compiler-like tools) to detect broken code. > Even if the definition can't possibly generate a working kerrnel. The "list_for_each_entry_inside(pos, type, head, member)" way makes the iterator invisiable outside the loop, and would be catched by compiler if use-after-loop things happened. Can you share your "alternative definitions" details? thanks! -- Xiaomeng Tong _______________________________________________ Linux-mediatek mailing list Linux-mediatek@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-mediatek
