The bug is here: idr_remove(&connection->peer_devices, vnr); If the previous for_each_connection() don't exit early (no goto hit inside the loop), the iterator 'connection' after the loop will be a bogus pointer to an invalid structure object containing the HEAD (&resource->connections). As a result, the use of 'connection' above will lead to a invalid memory access (including a possible invalid free as idr_remove could call free_layer). The original intention should have been to remove all peer_devices, but the following lines have already done the work. So just remove this line and the unneeded label, to fix this bug.
