Since there is no way for list_for_each_entry_continue() to start interating in the middle of the list they can be replaced with a call to list_for_each_entry(). In preparation to limit the scope of the list iterator to the list traversal loop, the list iterator variable 'rule' should not be used past the loop. v1->v2: - also replace first usage of list_for_each_entry_continue() (Florian Westphal) Signed-off-by: Jakob Koschel <jakobkoschel@xxxxxxxxx> --- net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c | 6 ++---- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c b/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c index d71a33ae39b3..6a8239b25a66 100644 --- a/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c +++ b/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c @@ -8279,10 +8279,8 @@ static int nf_tables_commit_chain_prepare(struct net *net, struct nft_chain *cha if (chain->blob_next || !nft_is_active_next(net, chain)) return 0; - rule = list_entry(&chain->rules, struct nft_rule, list); - data_size = 0; - list_for_each_entry_continue(rule, &chain->rules, list) { + list_for_each_entry(rule, &chain->rules, list) { if (nft_is_active_next(net, rule)) { data_size += sizeof(*prule) + rule->dlen; if (data_size > INT_MAX) @@ -8299,7 +8297,7 @@ static int nf_tables_commit_chain_prepare(struct net *net, struct nft_chain *cha data_boundary = data + data_size; size = 0; - list_for_each_entry_continue(rule, &chain->rules, list) { + list_for_each_entry(rule, &chain->rules, list) { if (!nft_is_active_next(net, rule)) continue; base-commit: f443e374ae131c168a065ea1748feac6b2e76613 -- 2.25.1
