From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
tls_sw_read_sock() ends its receive loop with while (skb), but
the else branch in the body calls consume_skb(skb) before the
predicate is re-evaluated. A pointer becomes indeterminate when
the object it points to reaches end-of-lifetime (C2011 6.2.4p2),
and using an indeterminate value is undefined behavior (Annex
J.2). The pointer is not dereferenced today -- the predicate
either exits the loop or skb is overwritten at the top of the
next iteration -- but any future change that adds a dereference
between consume_skb() and the predicate would silently introduce
a use-after-free.
Replace the do/while form with an explicit for(;;) loop so
termination happens through a break statement rather than
predicate evaluation of a freed pointer.
