I feel stupid. I think it's because the loop variable changes between loop condition test and actual body of loop. How about the following? It is pointing to the member of the same array so I think it's not even violating pointer comparison rules. while (--bv >= bio->bi_io_vec) __free_page(bv->bv_page); -- tejun -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
