Subject: [PATCH 5.10 26/97] drbd: remove usage of list iterator variable after loop
Date: Mon, 23 May 2022 19:05:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220523165816.355270008@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220523165812.244140613@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Jakob Koschel <jakobkoschel@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 901aeda62efa21f2eae937bccb71b49ae531be06 ]

In preparation to limit the scope of a list iterator to the list
traversal loop, use a dedicated pointer to iterate through the list [1].

Since that variable should not be used past the loop iteration, a
separate variable is used to 'remember the current location within the
loop'.

To either continue iterating from that position or skip the iteration
(if the previous iteration was complete) list_prepare_entry() is used.
