Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y 2/5] cifs: remove check of list iterator against head past the loop body
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 18:04:02 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260714220405.3333589-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260714220405.3333589-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Jakob Koschel <jakobkoschel@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 00c796eecba4898194ea549679797ee28f89a92f ]

When list_for_each_entry() completes the iteration over the whole list
without breaking the loop, the iterator value will be a bogus pointer
computed based on the head element.

While it is safe to use the pointer to determine if it was computed
based on the head element, either with list_entry_is_head() or
&pos->member == head, using the iterator variable after the loop should
be avoided.

In preparation to limit the scope of a list iterator to the list
traversal loop, use a dedicated pointer to point to the found element [1].
