From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> 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@xxxxxxx> --- 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. fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmrecovery.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmrecovery.c b/fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmrecovery.c index 9dfaac7..7084a11 100644 --- a/fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmrecovery.c +++ b/fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmrecovery.c @@ -1792,10 +1792,10 @@ static int dlm_process_recovery_data(struct dlm_ctxt *dlm, for (j = DLM_GRANTED_LIST; j <= DLM_BLOCKED_LIST; j++) { tmpq = dlm_list_idx_to_ptr(res, j); list_for_each_entry(lock, tmpq, list) { - if (lock->ml.cookie != ml->cookie) + if (lock->ml.cookie != ml->cookie) { lock = NULL; - else break; + } } if (lock) break; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
