I was confused because the copy of the code I found was different
(it has some checks for reusaddr - which force a function call in the
loop).
The code being compiled is:
begin:
result = NULL;
badness = -1;
udp_portaddr_for_each_entry_rcu(sk, node, &hslot2->head) {
score = compute_score2(sk, net, saddr, sport,
daddr, hnum, dif);
if (score > badness) {
result = sk;
badness = score;
if (score == SCORE2_MAX)
goto exact_match;
}
}
/*
* if the nulls value we got at the end of this lookup is
* not the expected one, we must restart lookup.
* We probably met an item that was moved to another chain.
*/
if (get_nulls_value(node) != slot2)
goto begin;
Which is entirely inlined - so the compiler is allowed to assume
that no other code modifies any of the data.
Hence it is allowed to cache the list head value.
Indeed it could convert the last line to "for (;;);".
A asm volatile ("":::"memory") somewhere would fix it.
