The bug is here: if (!encoder) { The list iterator value 'encoder' will *always* be set and non-NULL by list_for_each_entry(), so it is incorrect to assume that the iterator value will be NULL if the list is empty or no element is found. To fix the bug, use a new variable 'iter' as the list iterator, while use the original variable 'encoder' as a dedicated pointer to point to the found element.
