[PATCH 2/7] net/rxrpc/ar-peer.c: remove invalid reference to list iterator variable

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Sun Jul 08 2012 - 07:39:29 EST


From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx>

If list_for_each_entry, etc complete a traversal of the list, the iterator
variable ends up pointing to an address at an offset from the list head,
and not a meaningful structure. Thus this value should not be used after
the end of the iterator. This seems to be a copy-paste bug from a previous
debugging message, and so the meaningless value is just deleted.

This problem was found using Coccinelle (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/).
