xen-blkfront: drop the use of llist_for_each_entry_safe
Replace llist_for_each_entry_safe with a while loop. llist_for_each_entry_safe can trigger a bug in GCC 4.1, so it's best to remove it and use a while loop and do the deletion manually. Specifically this bug can be triggered by hot-unplugging a disk, either by doing xm block-detach or by save/restore cycle. BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffffffffff0 IP: [<ffffffffa0047223>] blkif_free+0x63/0x130 [xen_blkfront] The crash call trace is: ... bad_area_nosemaphore+0x13/0x20 do_page_fault+0x25e/0x4b0 page_fault+0x25/0x30 ? blkif_free+0x63/0x130 [xen_blkfront] blkfront_resume+0x46/0xa0 [xen_blkfront] xenbus_dev_resume+0x6c/0x140 pm_op+0x192/0x1b0 device_resume+0x82/0x1e0 dpm_resume+0xc9/0x1a0 dpm_resume_end+0x15/0x30 do_suspend+0x117/0x1e0 When drilling down to the assembler code, on newer GCC it does .L29: cmpq $-16, %r12 #, persistent_gnt check je .L30 #, out of the loop .L25: ... code in the loop testq %r13, %r13 # n je .L29 #, back to the top of the loop cmpq $-16, %r12 #, persistent_gnt check movq 16(%r12), %r13 # <variable>.node.next, n jne .L25 #, back to the top of the loop .L30: While on GCC 4.1, it is: L78: ... code in the loop testq %r13, %r13 # n je .L78 #, back to the top of the loop movq 16(%rbx), %r13 # <variable>.node.next, n jmp .L78 #, back to the top of the loop Which basically means that the exit loop condition instead of being: &(pos)->member != NULL; is: ; which makes the loop unbound. Since xen-blkfront is the only user of the llist_for_each_entry_safe macro remove it from llist.h.
