[PATCH 7/7] drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_cfdc.c: remove invalid reference to list iterator variable

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Sun Jul 08 2012 - 07:38:22 EST


From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx>

If list_for_each_entry, etc complete a traversal of the list, the iterator
variable ends up pointing to an address at an offset from the list head,
and not a meaningful structure. Thus this value should not be used after
the end of the iterator. Replace port->adapter->scsi_host by
adapter->scsi_host.

This problem was found using Coccinelle (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/).

This is not tested, an I am not sure that this is the right change.
Indeed, I'm not at all sure how the original code could have worked, since
port->adapter->scsi_host should be a completely random value.
