Sorry, I saw the related code entirely, please ignore these replies.

There is no checksum in node block now, so bit-transition from hardware
can make node_footer.next_blkaddr being corrupted w/o any detection,
result in node chain becoming looped one.

For this condition, during recovery, in order to avoid running into dead
loop, let's detect it and just skip out.

There exists another way to detect loop more faster but only using two variables.
The algorithm is described as simply "B goes forward a steps only A goes forwards 2 steps".
"B goes forward a step only when A goes forward 2(or constant x, more than 1) steps".

For example:
1)
ÂÂ 1 Â 2Â 3Â 4ÂÂ 5 Â 6 Â Â 7
ÂÂ |Â ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ Â \ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ /
ÂÂ | ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ ÂÂ \------/
 A, B
2)
ÂÂ 1Â 2Â 3Â 4ÂÂ 5 Â 6 Â Â 7
  | |  \ /
ÂÂ BÂÂ AÂÂÂÂ ÂÂ \------/
Â3)
ÂÂ 1Â 2Â 3Â 4ÂÂ 5 Â 6 Â Â 7
 Â |  | \ /
ÂÂÂÂÂ BÂÂ AÂÂ ÂÂ \------/
 4)
ÂÂ 1Â 2Â 3Â 4ÂÂ 5 Â 6 Â Â 7
 Â |  |\ /
ÂÂÂÂÂ BÂ Â Â A \------/
5)....



Sorry, it seems the encoded diagram is in a mess, I try again.
1)
ÂÂ 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 ->Â 6 -> 7
ÂÂ |ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ \ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ /
ÂÂ |ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ \-----<-----/
 A, B
2)
ÂÂ 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 ->Â 6 -> 7
ÂÂ |ÂÂÂ |ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ \ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ /
ÂÂ |ÂÂÂ |ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ \-----<-----/
ÂÂ BÂÂÂ A
3)
ÂÂ 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 ->Â 6 -> 7
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ |ÂÂÂ |ÂÂÂÂ \ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ /
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ |ÂÂÂ |ÂÂÂÂÂ \-----<-----/
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ BÂÂÂ A

ÂÂ 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 ->Â 6 -> 7
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ |ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ |\ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ /

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ BÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ A
5)....
if B catchs up A, there exists a cycle.


Thanks,
B will equal A or beyoud A if and only if there has a cycle.
It's a more faster algorithm. :D

Thanks,
