Causes crash when lifetime expires on an adress as garbage is
dereferenced soon after.
This used to look like this:
for (ifap = &ifa->ifa_dev->ifa_list;
*ifap != NULL; ifap = &(*ifap)->ifa_next) {
if (*ifap == ifa) ...
but this was changed to:
struct in_ifaddr *tmp;
ifap = &ifa->ifa_dev->ifa_list;
tmp = rtnl_dereference(*ifap);
while (tmp) {
tmp = rtnl_dereference(tmp->ifa_next); // Bogus
if (rtnl_dereference(*ifap) == ifa) {
...
ifap = &tmp->ifa_next; // Can be NULL
tmp = rtnl_dereference(*ifap); // Dereference
}
}
Remove the bogus assigment/list entry skip.
Fixes: 2638eb8b50 ("net: ipv4: provide __rcu annotation for ifa_list")

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.
