> The code implicitly assumes that the list iterator finds a correct handle. If 'vsi_handle' is not found the 'old_agg_vsi_info' was pointing to an bogus memory location. For safety a separate list iterator variable should be used to make the != NULL check on 'old_agg_vsi_info' correct under any circumstances.
>
> Additionally Linus proposed to avoid any use of the list iterator variable after the loop, in the attempt to move the list iterator variable declaration into the macro to avoid any potential misuse after the loop. Using it in a pointer comparison after the loop is undefined behavior and should be omitted if possible [1].
