From: Zhen Ni <zhen.ni@easystack.cn> stable inclusion from stable-v6.6.105 commit fb216d980fae6561c7c70af8ef826faf059c6515 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/ICYXVS CVE: CVE-2025-39853 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit a556f06338e1d5a85af0e32ecb46e365547f92b9 ] list_first_entry() never returns NULL - if the list is empty, it still returns a pointer to an invalid object, leading to potential invalid memory access when dereferenced. Fix this by using list_first_entry_or_null instead of list_first_entry.
