IIUC the for loop ending condition in list_for_each_entry_reverse() is "!list_entry_is_head(pos, head, member);", so even if the loop runs to completion, the pointer should still be valid right? Thanks,

In this case, the offset is zero. So it's &chan->alias_pairs minus zero. So we exit the list with c2a = (void *)&chan->alias_pairs. If you look how struct i2c_atr_chan is declareted the next struct member after alias_pairs is: struct i2c_atr_alias_pool *alias_pool; So if (c2a->fixed) is poking around in the alias_pool pointer. It's not out of bounds but it's not valid either. regards, dan carpenter

It's not > out of bounds but it's not valid either. Maybe it's just me, but I had hard time following that explanation. So here's mine: The list head (i2c_atr_chan.alias_pairs) is not a full entry, it's just a struct list_head. When the for loop runs to completion, c2a doesn't point to a struct i2c_atr_alias_pair, so you can't access c2a->fixed.

When the list_for_each_entry_reverse() exits without hitting a break then the list cursor points to invalid memory. So this check for if (c2a->fixed) is checking bogus memory. Fix it by using a "found" variable to track if we found what we were looking for or not.
