Here is how it happens. In the above modification, closure_sub() may wake up a process which is waiting on reverse list. If this process decides to wait again by calling closure_wait(), its cl->list will be added to another wait list. Then when llist_for_each_entry() continues to iterate next node, it will travel on another new wait list which is added in closure_wait(), not the original reverse list in __closure_wake_up(). It is more probably to happen on UP machine because the waked up process may preempt the process which wakes up it. Use llist_for_each_entry_safe() will fix the issue, the safe version fetch next node before waking up a process. Then the copy of next node will make sure list iteration stays on original reverse list.
