flowtop: Simplify entry skip logic
Instead of testing three skip conditions for every entry, make use of the short-circuit evaluation of the boolean OR operator to only test as few conditions as necessary. Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch>

i2c_do_del_adapter() ... list_for_each_entry_safe(..., &driver->clients, ...) INIT_LIST_HEAD(&driver->clients); To solve the problem it is sufficient to do clients list head initialization before calling driver_register(). The problem was found while using an I2C device driver with a sluggish registration routine on a bus provided by a physically detachable I2C master controller, but practically the oops may be reproduced under the race between arbitraty I2C device driver registration and managing I2C bus device removal e.g. by unbinding the latter over sysfs: % echo 21a4000.i2c > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/imx-i2c/unbind Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 Internal error: Oops: 17 [#1] SMP ARM CPU: 2 PID: 533 Comm: sh Not tainted 4.9.0-rc3+ #61 Hardware name: Freescale i.MX6 Quad/DualLite (Device Tree) task: e5ada400 task.stack: e4936000 PC is at i2c_do_del_adapter+0x20/0xcc LR is at __process_removed_adapter+0x14/0x1c Flags: NzCv IRQs on FIQs on Mode SVC_32 ISA ARM Segment none Control: 10c5387d Table: 35bd004a DAC: 00000051 Process sh (pid: 533, stack limit = 0xe4936210) Stack: (0xe4937d28 to 0xe4938000) Backtrace: [<c0667be0>] (i2c_do_del_adapter) from [<c0667cc0>] (__process_removed_adapter+0x14/0x1c) [<c0667cac>] (__process_removed_adapter) from [<c0516998>] (bus_for_each_drv+0x6c/0xa0) [<c051692c>] (bus_for_each_drv) from [<c06685ec>] (i2c_del_adapter+0xbc/0x284) [<c0668530>] (i2c_del_adapter) from [<bf0110ec>] (i2c_imx_remove+0x44/0x164 [i2c_imx]) [<bf0110a8>] (i2c_imx_remove [i2c_imx]) from [<c051a838>] (platform_drv_remove+0x2c/0x44) [<c051a80c>] (platform_drv_remove) from [<c05183d8>] (__device_release_driver+0x90/0x12c) [<c0518348>] (__device_release_driver) from [<c051849c>] (device_release_driver+0x28/0x34) [<c0518474>] (device_release_driver) from [<c0517150>] (unbind_store+0x80/0x104) [<c05170d0>] (unbind_store) from [<c0516520>] (drv_attr_store+0x28/0x34) [<c05164f8>] (drv_attr_store) from [<c0298acc>] (sysfs_kf_write+0x50/0x54) [<c0298a7c>] (sysfs_kf_write) from [<c029801c>] (kernfs_fop_write+0x100/0x214) [<c0297f1c>] (kernfs_fop_write) from [<c0220130>] (__vfs_write+0x34/0x120) [<c02200fc>] (__vfs_write) from [<c0221088>] (vfs_write+0xa8/0x170) [<c0220fe0>] (vfs_write) from [<c0221e74>] (SyS_write+0x4c/0xa8) [<c0221e28>] (SyS_write) from [<c0108a20>] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x1c) Signed-off-by: Vladimir Zapolskiy <vladimir_zapolskiy@mentor.com> Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang <wsa@the-dreams.de> Cc: stable@kernel.org
