I think I see what you're trying to do here. Use result_base as a
"marker" or the base value?

But I'd say it makes the code harder to follow. It looks like this:

	result_base = NULL;
	result = NULL;

	result_base = result
	lock()
	for ...
		/* search logic */
	unlock()
	
	if (result == result_base)
		ifp = result
	else
		ifp = NULL
	return NULL

This would be a lot simpler, and functionally equivalent:

	result = NULL

	lock()
	for ...
		/* search logic */
	unlock()

	return result

Right?
