Commit 8e55b6fd0660 ("staging: lustre: lnet: replace list_for_each
with list_for_each_entry") was intended to be an idempotent change,
but actually broke the behavior of ksocknal_add_peer() causing mounts to fail.
The fact that it caused an existing "route2 = NULL;" to become
redundant could have been a clue. The fact that the loop body
set the new loop variable to NULL might also have been a clue
The original code relied on "route2" being NULL if nothing was found.
The new code would always set route2 to a non-NULL value if the list
was empty, and would likely crash if the list was not empty.
Restore correct functionality by using code-flow rather the value of
"route2" to determine whether to use on old route, or to add a new one.

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.
