When list_for_each_entry() completes the iteration over the whole list
without breaking the loop, the iterator variable will *always* be a
bogus pointer computed based on the head element.

To avoid type confusion use the actual list head directly instead of
the last iterator value.

It looks like this no longer applies cleanly.   Can you recheck
fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c (function smb2_reconnect_server) and see if it
applies now that it has changed e.g.


/* allocate a dummy tcon struct used for reconnect */
tcon = kzalloc(sizeof(struct cifs_tcon), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!tcon) {
resched = true;
list_for_each_entry_safe(ses, ses2, &tmp_ses_list, rlist) {
list_del_init(&ses->rlist);
cifs_put_smb_ses(ses);
}
goto done;
}

You had this:

looks like this issue was already fixed in the meantime.
Feel free to ignore PATCH 1/2.
