[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 1/2] fs/ocfs2/dlm: Eliminate update of list_for_each_entry loop cursor

From: Julia Lawall <julia at diku.dk>

list_for_each_entry uses its first argument to move from one element to the
next, so modifying it can break the iteration.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r@
iterator name list_for_each_entry;
expression x,E;
position p1,p2;
@@

list_for_each_entry at p1(x,...) { <... x =@p2 E ...> }

@@
expression x,E;
position r.p1,r.p2;
statement S;
@@

*x =@p2 E
...
list_for_each_entry at p1(x,...) S
// </smpl>

I don't know whether this is the right solution, but it seems plausible
considering the subsequent test on lock.  In any case, setting lock to NULL
and then going back to the top of the loop does not work.
