![]() If a list_for_each_entry() loop exits without hitting a break statement
then the iterator points to invalid memory. So in this code the
"tst->name" dereference is an out bounds read. It's an offset from the
&test_upload_list pointer and it will likely work fine most of the time
but it's not correct.
One alternative is to fix this this by changing the test to:
if (list_entry_is_head(tst, &test_upload_list, node)) {
But the simpler, trendy new way is just create a new variable and test
for NULL.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
