[ Upstream commit 798a9cada4694ca8d970259f216cec47e675bfd5 ] syzbot (via KASAN) reports a use-after-free in the error path of xlog_alloc_log(). Specifically, the iclog freeing loop doesn't handle the case of a fully initialized ->l_iclog linked list. Instead, it assumes that the list is partially constructed and NULL terminated. This bug manifested because there was no possible error scenario after iclog list setup when the original code was added. Subsequent code and associated error conditions were added some time later, while the original error handling code was never updated. Fix up the error loop to terminate either on a NULL iclog or reaching the end of the list.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
