To move the list iterator variable into the list_for_each_entry_*() macro in the future it should be avoided to use the list iterator variable after the loop body. To *never* use the list iterator variable after the loop it was concluded to use a separate iterator variable instead of a found boolean [1]. This removes the need to use a found variable (supported & existed) and simply checking if the variable was set, can determine if the break/goto was hit.

Verifier log avoids printing the same source code line multiple times
when a consecutive block of BPF assembly instructions are covered by the
same original (C) source code line. This greatly improves verifier log
legibility.
Unfortunately, this check is imperfect and in production applications it
quite often happens that verifier log will have multiple duplicated
source lines emitted, for no apparently good reason. E.g., this is
excerpt from a real-world BPF application (with register states omitted
for clarity):

As can be seen, line 394 is emitted thrice, 396 is emitted twice, and
line 400 is duplicated as well. Note that there are no intermingling
other lines of source code in between these duplicates, so the issue is
not compiler reordering assembly instruction such that multiple original
source code lines are in effect.
It becomes more obvious what's going on if we look at *full* original line info
information (using btfdump for this, [0]):
#2764: line: insn #5363 --> 394:3 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
for (int i = 0; i < STROBE_MAX_MAP_ENTRIES; ++i) {
#2765: line: insn #5373 --> 394:21 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
for (int i = 0; i < STROBE_MAX_MAP_ENTRIES; ++i) {
#2766: line: insn #5375 --> 394:47 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
for (int i = 0; i < STROBE_MAX_MAP_ENTRIES; ++i) {
#2767: line: insn #5377 --> 394:3 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
for (int i = 0; i < STROBE_MAX_MAP_ENTRIES; ++i) {
#2768: line: insn #5378 --> 414:10 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
return off;
We can see that there are four line info records covering
instructions #5363 through #5377 (instruction indices are shifted due to
subprog instruction being appended to main program), all of them are
pointing to the same C source code line #394. But each of them points to
a different part of that line, which is denoted by differing column
numbers (3, 21, 47, 3).
But verifier log doesn't distinguish between parts of the same source code line
and doesn't emit this column number information, so for end user it's just a
repetitive visual noise. So let's improve the detection of repeated source code
line and avoid this.
With the changes in this patch, we get this output for the same piece of BPF
program log:

Verifier log avoids printing the same source code line multiple times
when a consecutive block of BPF assembly instructions are covered by the
same original (C) source code line. This greatly improves verifier log
legibility.
Unfortunately, this check is imperfect and in production applications it
quite often happens that verifier log will have multiple duplicated
source lines emitted, for no apparently good reason. E.g., this is
excerpt from a real-world BPF application (with register states omitted
for clarity):

As can be seen, line 394 is emitted thrice, 396 is emitted twice, and
line 400 is duplicated as well. Note that there are no intermingling
other lines of source code in between these duplicates, so the issue is
not compiler reordering assembly instruction such that multiple original
source code lines are in effect.
It becomes more obvious what's going on if we look at *full* original line info
information (using btfdump for this, [0]):
#2764: line: insn #5363 --> 394:3 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
for (int i = 0; i < STROBE_MAX_MAP_ENTRIES; ++i) {
#2765: line: insn #5373 --> 394:21 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
for (int i = 0; i < STROBE_MAX_MAP_ENTRIES; ++i) {
#2766: line: insn #5375 --> 394:47 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
for (int i = 0; i < STROBE_MAX_MAP_ENTRIES; ++i) {
#2767: line: insn #5377 --> 394:3 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
for (int i = 0; i < STROBE_MAX_MAP_ENTRIES; ++i) {
#2768: line: insn #5378 --> 414:10 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
return off;
We can see that there are four line info records covering
instructions #5363 through #5377 (instruction indices are shifted due to
subprog instruction being appended to main program), all of them are
pointing to the same C source code line #394. But each of them points to
a different part of that line, which is denoted by differing column
numbers (3, 21, 47, 3).
But verifier log doesn't distinguish between parts of the same source code line
and doesn't emit this column number information, so for end user it's just a
repetitive visual noise. So let's improve the detection of repeated source code
line and avoid this.
With the changes in this patch, we get this output for the same piece of BPF
program log:
