Dear Zhen,
Thank you for your patch. Am 27.08.25 um 13:56 schrieb Zhen Ni:
list_first_entry() never returns NULL — if the list is empty, it still returns a pointer to an invalid object, leading to potential invalid memory access when dereferenced. Fix this by using list_first_entry_or_null instead of list_first_entry.

That’s even better. Reviewed-by: Paul Menzel <[email protected]> Kind regards, Paul
