From: Alexander Potapenko <glider@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: llist: introduce llist_entry_safe() Currently llist_for_each_entry() and llist_for_each_entry_safe() iterate until &pos->member != NULL. But when building the kernel with Clang, the compiler assumes &pos->member cannot be NULL if the member's offset is greater than 0. Therefore the loop condition is always true, and the loops become infinite. To work around this, introduce llist_entry_safe(), which returns NULL for NULL pointers, and additionally check that pos is not NULL in the list iterators before dereferencing it.
