[I2C] fix unsafe usage of list_for_each in i2c-core

[I2C] fix unsafe usage of list_for_each in i2c-core

Post by Andreas Schult » Fri, 06 Jun 2003 20:50:14



Hi,

i2c-core.c contains 2 loops that iterate over the list of the clients attached
to an adapter and detaches them. Detaching the clients will actually remove
them from the list the loop is iterating over. Therefore the
list_for_each_safe() method has to be used.

Ah, nice catch.  Applied, thanks.

I'm guessing this fixes your other i2c problems you were having?

thanks,
