Subject: Re: [PATCH 03/14 v2] ipv4, ipv6: use list_for_each_entry*

Is the code really simpler? At least in the case of net/ipv6/addrconf.c,
I have the impression that there can be an access from a pointer that is
not really pointing to the thing indicated by its type. The code seems to
work, but this doesn't seem like a good property for it to have. In these
cases, you need access to both the list and to the entry. The original
code seemed like a reasonable way to express that.
