[PATCH net-next 1/2] igb: Fix an end of loop test

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When we exit a list_for_each_entry() without hitting a break statement,
the list iterator isn't NULL, it just point to an offset off the
list_head.  In that situation, it wouldn't be too surprising for
entry->free to be true and we end up corrupting memory.

The way to test for these is to just set a flag.
