[PATCH 1/2] fs/ocfs2/dlm: Eliminate update of list_for_each_entry loop cursor

[PATCH 1/2] fs/ocfs2/dlm: Eliminate update of list_for_each_entry loop cursor

[Julia Lawall]

From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

list_for_each_entry uses its first argument to move from one element to the
next, so modifying it can break the iteration.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r@
iterator name list_for_each_entry;
expression x,E;
position p1,p2;
@@

list_for_each_entry@p1(x,...) { <... x =@p2 E ...> }

@@
expression x,E;
position r.p1,r.p2;
statement S;
@@

*x =@p2 E
...
list_for_each_entry@p1(x,...) S
// </smpl>

Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

---
I don't know whether this is the right solution, but it seems plausible
considering the subsequent test on lock.  In any case, setting lock to NULL
and then going back to the top of the loop does not work.

	Thanks for catching the bug.  It was introduced by 800deef3
[ocfs2: use list_for_each_entry where benefical].  I blame Christoph.

	However, this is not the correct solution.  The goal of the
original code, which used to use list_for_each(), was to leave lock
non-NULL if the cookie was found.  Your version merely exits the loop on
the first non-matching entry, always leaving lock==NULL if there is a
non-matching entry.
	One possible solution is to return the original code:

This seems a bit ugly to me, since it exposes the implementation of the 
list abstraction.  What about the following:

lock = NULL;
list_for_each_entry(x, tmpq, list) {
	if (x->ml.cookie == ml->cookie) {
	   	lock = x;
		break;
	}
}

I agree with you that it's ugly as pants.  Maybe someone could write an
at_list_start() macro?

	Actually, we're going to go back to the original list_for_each()
and list_entry() version.  It's a well understood idiom.
	We're also going to re-audit the rest of the patch that changed
list_for_each() to list_for_each_entry(), just in case we missed another
semantic error.

What ever happened with this?  The bug is still there in the latest
kernel.

I think from previous discussion about this that we only ever have
one lock so lock->ml.cookie is always equal to ml->cookie and we
never set lock to NULL.  So we never actually hit the NULL deref.
But it should probably still be cleaned up.

I think it got lost in the shuffle. We had decided to use the list_for_each().
The code is simpler to understand than the other proposed fix.

Joel, do you want me to send a patch?
