From: Jakob Koschel Subject: hugetlb: remove use of list iterator variable after loop In preparation to limit the scope of the list iterator to the list traversal loop, use a dedicated pointer to iterate through the list [1]. Before hugetlb_resv_map_add() was expecting a file_region struct, but in case the list iterator in add_reservation_in_range() did not exit early, the variable passed in, is not actually a valid structure. In such a case 'rg' is computed on the head element of the list and represents an out-of-bounds pointer. This still remains safe *iff* you only use the link member (as it is done in hugetlb_resv_map_add()). To avoid the type-confusion altogether and limit the list iterator to the loop, only a list_head pointer is kept to pass to hugetlb_resv_map_add().
