[PATCH 1/7] drivers/isdn/mISDN/stack.c: remove invalid reference to list iterator variable

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Sun Jul 08 2012 - 07:39:49 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. The dereferences are just deleted from the
debugging statement.

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