Hi Mukesh,
Thanks for the report and patch!

Looking closer at the existing implementation, it looks curious to me
that we use list_first_entry_or_null() since that may return NULL,
which we never check for.  I'm curious if that's safe to remove?
Probably, since we haven't had any issues reported thus far.

This seems to be iterating BOTH src and dest, whereas previously we
were only iterating dest AFAICT.  Is this correct?  Seems to be a
change of behavior, at the least, which seems orthogonal to fixing the
panic.

Otherwise it sounds like we could just add NULL ptr checks against
sfn_ptr outside the loop, and against dfn_ptr inside the loop.
Something like this?

Can you test the above hunk or comment on whether it addresses the issue?
