[ Upstream commit e9a1cc2e4c4ee7c7e60fb26345618c2522a2a10f ]
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].
Fixes: 37c592062b16 ("ice: remove the VSI info from previous agg")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
