Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Clang: avoid undefined behavior in llist iterators
Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2016 15:22:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1474636978-41435-1-git-send-email-glider@google.com> (raw)

This patch set fixes problems with pointer arithmetics overflow in
llist iterators, llist_for_each_entry() and llist_for_each_entry_safe().
Clang turns those macros into infinite loops, because they're operating
with "negative" pointers.

As a follow-up it may make sense to convert other uses of llist_entry()
to llist_entry_safe(), or even replace uses of container_of() with
container_of_safe().

Alexander Potapenko (2):
  include/linux: provide a safe version of container_of()
  llist: introduce llist_entry_safe()
